Here's a dentist with a heart of gold who doesn't want to put more gold fillings in kids' teeth than necessary. Orthodontist Brent Tingley organized a campaign in Juneau, Alaska, among fellow dentists who agreed to pay $1 per pound of Halloween candy turned into their offices this month. One school alone sold them 130 pounds. Dr. Tingley said it took about 22 boxes to get all the candy packed up and sent to our troops as part of Operation Gratitude. Don't worry, Dr. Bigelow, I'm not switching dentists and getting my teeth cleaned in Juneau. But still, I think that is one "sweet" gesture.
