Cash for Candy with Dr. Elchahal!

Dr. Elchahal is redefining the phrase "put your money where your mouth is." This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Dr. Elchahal's offices in Johns Creek or Hamilton Mill and receive cash back per pound. Dr. Elchahal is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars in exchange for cavity-provoking candy.

"Ditch the candy, that's what we're saying. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost," says Dr. Alec Elchahal. "Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating, and now their piggy banks will benefit as well."

Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be sure their kids 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 teeth and damaged braces.

Candy will be collected at Dr. Elchahal's office the week after Halloween on November 2nd at the Johns Creek office and on November 3rd at the Hamilton Mill office between the hours of 8am-5pm. The candy must be unopened. Please no bites. It will then be shipped to a local charity. Dr. Elchahal and team are available to provide more information at 770-622-1177 or visit our website at www.smilesbyelchahal.com.
