Here we are, days away from Halloween, and many parents are already wondering “What are we going to do with all that candy?!?” In our house, we have been known to have some of that candy stick around until well after New Year’s Day…believe it or not!

Enter Dr. Rashmi Parmar to the rescue. This year, local Clarksville dentist Dr. Parmar will be hosting a Candy Buyback Day on Saturday, Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Now you may ask, what is a dentist going to do with all that candy? Dr. Parmar has the perfect solution. This event has been titled “Treats for Troops.” Candy and other goodies collected will be sent to our troops as a way to say thank you, while promoting good oral health. The day is a way to promote community involvement, and give local kids a chance to do something special for the troops.

Plan to stop by, turn in your candy, and enjoy some games and treats. Dr. Parmar’s office is  at 12620 Clarksville Pike in Clarksville. She is looking for volunteers to help with the collection of candy. If you would like to volunteer to assist, or have any questions, call 410-531-5639.
