dentist offers to buy back Halloween candy

An Ohio dentist is offering to buy kids' trick-or-treating booty this Halloween, and he's even throwing in a toothbrush to sweeten the deal.
The Mansfield News Journal reports (http://bit.ly/qjkD3Z ) that dentist Craig Callen and his associates are offering kids $1 per pound of candy they bring in, with a 5-pound limit per child. The dentists are also holding a drawing for two children's bikes.
Callen says brushing teeth and visiting a dentist are good preventive measures, but doing away with excess sweets would give teeth a healthy boost.
Callen says candy can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain and can be especially damaging to children's braces.
