The Art of Dentistry Participates in Operation Gratitude

All call for Halloween candy! The Art of Dentistry wants to buy your Halloween candy as part of the 2017 National Halloween Candy Buyback Program, otherwise known as Operation Buyback. The program was started with the goal of getting some of the massive amounts of candy “off the streets” for a good cause. Dental offices nationwide, like the Art of Dentistry, pay kids for their unopened candy. Participating dentists then send the collection to Operation Gratitude, which sorts the candy, packs it in boxes and ships them to troops serving our country abroad. The Art of Dentistry will pay $1 per pound up to $5 per child for unopened Halloween candy. Candy will be collected at the office from Wednesday, November 1, through Friday, November 3.

Location: 7505 St. Andrews Rd., Columbia. For more information, call 803-781-1600.
