Phila. Dental Office Encourages Kids to Trade In Their Halloween Treats
by KYW's John McDevitt

A children's dental office in center city Philadelphia is hoping for big smiles for US troops overseas and healthy teeth for kids back home, with a trick-or-treat candy trade-in.

The big orange sign on the front window of the Children's Dental Associates office, in the 600 block of Chestnut Street, reads "Trick-or-Treat Trade-In."

Brenda Labutis is the hygienist there. She says kids who turn in their Halloween candy will get a coupon for ice cream, and their Halloween goodies will be sent to members of the military fighting overseas:

"Ice cream is a dairy treat -- it melts.  It goes away.  It's not retentive.  So it's a better choice than a sticky, chewy treat.  So we are going to give the kids a coupon for a Dairy Queen treat, and then we are going to enter their name into a raffle for a Target gift card. And then, all the candy we collect will be sent to the troops who are fighting for our freedom."

Children's Dental Associates is working with American Troop Support Team, a nonprofit organization that sends boxes of “goods from home” to the soldiers.
