Halloween Candy Buy Back

So your kids went out trick-or-treating and now you have a big pile of candy that you really don’t want them to eat. Well, Jaffe Orthodontics in Barrington and Portsmouth has just the solution. The time is here once again for Jaffe Orthodontics annual Halloween Candy Buy Back.  This is the 3rd year, and in the previous two years, they collected over 300 pounds of candy!  After collecting the candy, they sent it to an organization called Operation Gratitude which then made care packages and sent them to troops serving around the world.

According to Dr. Jordan Jaffe, “The obvious benefit of “buying” our patient’s candy is that we reward our patients who have braces on their teeth for not eating the candy they are not supposed to.  Instead of allowing the candy to go to waste, however, we are sending it to people who no doubt appreciate it. Even for kids who don’t have braces, we are attempting to send a message about healthy choices. That is why we have decided to open the event to the general public this year”

Whether or not you are a patient of Jaffe Orthodontics, they welcome you to participate in this year’s candy buy back. They will be buying candy from 3pm to 6pm on November 1st at their Barrington Office at 147 County Road.  They will also be buying candy in their Portsmouth office at 31 King Charles Drive on November 4th from 8am-5pm. They will be paying $1/pound up to 5 pounds for unopened candy in its original wrapper.
