RENU DENTAL IN CROOKSTON TO BUY BACK HALLOWEEN CANDY ON NOVEMBER 4

One area dentist is redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.” This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Renu Dental Care and receive $1 per pound. Dr. Jensen has joined the movement to reduce sugar-loaded holiday consumption and consequences by giving away dollars.

“We are holding a fun event that offers a great option for families who are struggling with the thought of their kids eating excessive amounts of candy! Of course we also get a chance to remind kids that visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures,” says Dr. Jensen from Renu Dental Care of Crookston. Kids can still have all of the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well. This practice has chosen to participate in this national event for the fifth year in a row. It’s called the Halloween candy Buy Back and it’s been a lifesaver for parents who want to limit the amount of damage that can be done to their children’s teeth.” 

Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about two percent annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be sure their kid’s 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 and damaged teeth and braces. 

Candy will be collected at Renu Dental Care (2211 Sahlstrom Dr. Suite A, Crookston), Monday, November 4 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. The candy will then be shipped to troops overseas via Move America Forward and Operation Shoebox. Each child is eligible to receive $1 per pound up to five pounds for all unopened, uneaten candy. Plus, Renu Dental will provide paper and writing utensils for anyone that would like to create a morale-boosting letter for our service members. 

Dr. Jensen is one of two dentists at Renu Dental Care, which emphasizes providing their patients with an exceptional dental experience, making their needs our top priority. Dr. Jensen works hard to raise awareness of the benefits of healthy eating and great dental hygiene.
