SALT Dentists Take on Candy Buy-Back

The dental practices of SALT love Halloween! While - as dentists - we fear this candy-loaded holiday because of the potential for cavities and tooth decay, our offices in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho celebrate by making it a fun competition.

Candy Buy-Back Event

During Halloween, several practices put on a 'Candy Buy-Back' event. They ask people to trade in their candy after trick or treating for cold, hard cash. Okay - really it is just for $1 for every pound of candy - but some offices get more than expected! The big winners can take home gift baskets, gift cards, and more. Check out what our dental partners are doing for the 2023 Buy-Back event!

SALT Collects Halloween Candy for Local Charities

No, these dentists don't keep all this candy to themselves! There are many organizations out there that will take candy off your hands and send them to troops overseas or donate them to hospitals or charities. For the SALT practices, the candy will be sent to several amazing local charities, such as Treats for Troops.
