Tisseront Orthodontics will be donating $2 for each pound of leftover candy.

RESTON, VA — There's nothing kids love more than Halloween candy, but as we all know all that sugar can wreak havoc on the pearly whites, and one local dentist is offering to buy it all back for a good cause.

Tisseront Orthodontics, which is located around the corner from Reston Town Center at 11720 Plaza America Drive Suite 110, is hosting its 11th annual Halloween Candy Buy-Back Event to benefit troops overseas and Children's National in D.C.

The event will be held Monday, Nov. 7 from 12 until 4 p.m. rain or shine on the plaza in front of their office (look for the balloons).

"Help us beat our record of 1100 pounds last year!" Tisseront Orthodontics says on its website. "We’ll have a letter-writing station to write notes and draw pictures of gratitude to our Troops overseas, and we include these in the boxes we send! This traditional community event has fun for all with temporary tattoos, a raffle with donated prizes from local businesses, hot apple cider and balloons! We’ll also dance to Justin Timberlake’s ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’! Our grand prize is a donated pair of Beats by Dr. Dre Solo 2’s from the Apple Store in Reston!"
