Dr. Colin Yoshida Blog - Dentist Fremont CA

Local dentist is taking a stand against excessive consumption of candies this Halloween. From November 2 & 3, after Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candies to Dr. Yoshida’s Dental office in Fremont, California and receive $1 per pound. Dr. Colin Yoshida is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars in exchange for cavity-provoking candies.
“Ditch the candy, and donate it to our troops! That’s what we’re saying. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, and staying away from excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost,” says Dr. Yoshida. “Kids can still have all of 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.
One of the other goals of Dr. Yoshida and his team during this time of the year is to help and donate all collected Halloween candies to our brave soldiers in Iraq, through Operations Gratitude. “Each year thousands of care packages are being sent to our troops before the holiday containing toiletries, books, snacks and our Halloween candies from all of us! “Bringing smile to their faces and making them feel at home when they receive those care packages is priceless.” Says one of the staff member at Dr. Yoshida’s office.
Drop off all your candies at 3885 Beacon Avenue, Suite C Fremont CA 94538 the day after Halloween on November 2 & 3 from 9:00am to 4:00 p.m. The candy must be unopened. Please no bites. It will then be shipped to troops before the holiday.
