Teach your kids the lesson of giving back with the Candy Buy Back Week, at the Super Dentists offices throughout the San Diego county. This event allows children to go into the dentists with their bags of candy, and trade it for $1. The best part is that for every pound of candy that is donated by a child, the dentists will give the child $1 and the other $1 will be matched and donated to schools in need. The candy will then be sent to military men and women to enjoy, so they can feel the joy from the holidays as well. Take your candy in and make a difference while showing your children the season of giving.
