Treats for Troops

TREATS FOR TROOPS!! Local Dentist Takes a Stand Against Sweets this Halloween BRIARCLIFF MANOR (October 31, 2023) - For the twenty first (21st) year in a row, a twist on the old "Trick Or Treat" custom is returning to Westchester this holiday season - the Treats for Troops program. Native Briarcliff Manor resident Dentist Michael Teitelbaum is concerned about all the sugar consumed around Halloween. so he's doing something about it, fighting tooth decay and helping our troops have a happy Halloween! Dr. Teitelbaum will collect candy from kids and their families, then send the candy to our troops. The collected confections brought into his office (1312 Pleasantville Road, Briarcliff Manor, NY) will then be sent to American troops. It gets the candy away from kids, who are already at a cavity-prone age, and helps cheer up soldiers, who are far from home & can't enjoy the simple pleasure of Halloween," commented Dr. Teitelbaum. The sweets can be dropped off for 2 weeks following Halloween, from Thursday, November 2nd, through Friday, November 17th (or call to see when you can bring it over) during his normal business hours." This is my 21st year collecting and donating literally thousands of pounds of candy. I enjoy doing things that are fun, yet also good for people's health. Let's face it, this time of year both adults and children eat too much sugar and end up paying the price later with a mouth full of cavities" said Dr. Teitelbaum, who has been practicing cosmetic/family dentistry for over 30 years. This charity-minded professional has collected and shipped over 3000 pounds of candy from all over the country and had his efforts spotlighted on national TV. Among other charitable endeavors, Dr. Teitelbaum also volunteers his services restoring smiles of battered women through the "Give Back a Smile" program, donates teeth bleaching treatments for local charity fundraisers and annually gives money from smile whitening to Garth Brooks' children's charity through the "Smiles for Life" Program. Dr. Teitelbaum, who specializes in reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dentistry in 1989, received his Masters from the Academy of General Dentistry in 2018, and has been practicing dentistry in Briarcliff Manor, NY since 1990. Dr. Teitelbaum is President of the Greater NY Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, director of the Westchester Academy of Restorative Dentistry, a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Dental Association and Society of International Magicians’. He is the Director of Westchester's only DentistSpa. For more information, call (914) 941-2000 or visit DentistSpa.com For more information, call (914) 941-2000, or visit www.DentistSpa.com.
