I heard from one of our Bham Nowers that Dr. Kevin Alexander in Crestline would give out toothbrushes in exchange for Halloween candy. Since I wasn’t able to verify that, and since he’s advertising the buyback at Over the Mountain Dentistry, I thought I’d let his office get the last word.

Whatever you do with your Halloween candy, remember to “floss your fangs.”
