Halloween safety tips from Dr. Matt Hillman & team

Trick-or-treat! In the spirit of this weekend's sweet and spooky holiday, Dr. Matt Hillman and our team at Smiles Dentistry for Kids would like to remind all of our patients in Overland Park, Olathe, Kansas City and the surrounding areas of Kansas and Missouri to be safe while celebrating with friends and family. Here are a few tips all you trick-or-treaters could use for a ghoulishly good time.

A few Halloween safety guidelines before you head out:
• Young children should always be accompanied by an adult
• Carry a flashlight
• Wear a light-colored or reflective costume
• Choose face paint over masks for young ghosts and goblins
• Have an adult inspect all treats before the children dig in

We wish you all a safe, fun and happy Halloween weekend!

Donate your Halloween candy, and YOU could win NEW iPod NANO!

Dr. Matt Hillman and team are having a Halloween BuyBack this month - kids who wish to bring in their excess, unopened Halloween candy to our Overland Park office will be entered for a chance to win the NEW iPod NANO!! Of course they will also get a little extra prize no matter what for being SO generous!

The candy will be sent as a gift to our American soldiers serving our county overseas via Operation Gratitude. Here is your chance to show our brave service men and women how much you appreciate them. Join us as we "treat our troops" and support our children's health!
