SORRENTO DENTAL TO BUY BACK HALLOWEEN CANDY

Ipswich, MA, October 28, 2015– Ipswich dentist Dr. James Sorrento and the Sorrento Dental Team are offering a great way to recycle the excess Halloween candy that can lead to cavities again this year. This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Sorrento Dental in Ipswich and receive $1 per pound of candy donated. Dr. James Sorrento is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars, toothbrushes and healthy smiles in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.

“Families want their children to enjoy the fun of trick-or-treating, but many are at a loss what to do when they wind up with more candy than they want their children to consume,” Dr. Sorrento observed. “We think this program offers a terrific solution to this annual dilemma, and it’s a win-win for our troops, as well,” he said.

Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be sure their kids teeth are being cared for more than ever. Candy, as well as hurting children’s teeth, can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain. In some cases, the wrong types of candy can also lead to broken teeth and damaged braces.

Candy will be collected at Sorrento Dental starting the Monday after Halloween through November 13th during normal business hours. The candy must be unopened. It will then be shipped, along with toothbrushes and floss, to troops overseas. This event is open to the public.

Dr. James Sorrento has been practicing in Ipswich for over 16 years. His practice emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures, sedation dentistry and Invisalign in a newly remodeled state-of-the-art dental facility.
