Dentist gives cash for candy

In an effort to save children’s tooth enamel, Elmhurst dentist Dr. Payam Kashani is offering to buy back Halloween candy at his 43rd Avenue office.

He said he’ll send the candy to soldiers overseas.

He said he’s no Halloween Grinch. “We’re not taking all of their candy, just their excess candy,” he said. “There’s only so much you can eat.”

He’s offering $1 per pound.
