To help celebrate October as National Orthodontic Health Month, Smiles Change Lives (SCL), Kansas City, Mo, is seeking orthodontic practices interested in sponsoring a candy exchange event to give kids a healthy alternative to eating all thecandy they collect for Halloween.
According to SCL, hosting a candy exchange will help an orthodontist promote children’s orthodontic health awareness; educate the community about the negative impact of sweets; support a charity that helps disadvantaged kids; and market his or her practice to potential new patients
