13th Annual Halloween “Candy Buy Back” to support local charity in Clarksville-Montgomery County
November 1, 2012
Clarksville, TN – Clarksville Dental Center (CDC) is holding its 13th annual “Candy Buy Back”. The doctors say the reasons are many, in addition to the fact that one never knows exactly what is in your child’s bag.”All that sugar hurts the child’s teeth and puts on body weight as well,” says Dr. Edington.
The doctors at CDC are offering $1.00 per pound of candy, and they will match that dollar with another dollar to be donated to a Clarksville/Montgomery County charity.
