Halloween is over and you’re over it. Next step: unload the candy. Your kids may have outgrown the switch witch or candy fairy, but there is a growing list of dentists in the Portland area who will buy back your candy once the trick or treating dust settles. That’s right, if your kids are willing to part with some of their Halloween treats, selling their candy can earn them cash, Blazer tickets and other fun prizes. Dental practices usually pay per pound and typically donate the candy to deployed troops. Does your dentist buy back?
If not, here are 6 local dentists that do:
