If your kids are Halloween enthusiasts they probably have pounds and pounds of candy this morning.

One local dental office is willing to take some of that off of your hands to give it to someone in need.

At participating Nebraska Family Dentistry locations they are participating in Operation Gratitude's Candy Buyback Program. This program will send purchased Halloween candy to soldiers overseas, and pay children for giving away their candy.

Nebraska Family Dentistry will pay up to fifty cents to one dollar for each pound of Halloween candy that is brought in.

Dentist say during this time of year is when your teeth are at the most risk. All that candy, especially the sticky kind sits on the teeth, and can cause cavities. While other harder candies can crack and break teeth.

The Halloween Candy Buyback Program will run from November 1st through November 5th at the following Nebraska Family Dentistry locations:

5800 N. 33rd street

Coddington dental

Southpointe dental
