Deland, Florida - Instead of lecturing against candy, a Deland dentist has figured out another way to protect youngsters’ teeth during Halloween: Cash.
Doctor Mark Mathias is offering to pay kids $5 for 2 pounds of collected candy. They have to drop it off at his office Halloween evening.
The treats will not go to waste, however. Mathias plans to ship them to troops serving overseas.

GREENACRES, Fla. (UPI) — A 52-year-old man was arrested in Florida recently for allegedly performing a root canal on a woman even though he lacked a dental license.
Gustavo Ortegon was charged in Palm Beach County after allegedly attempting to collect his final payment for his unlicensed dental services, The Palm Beach Post reported.
Police claim Ortegon gave a woman a partial root canal Oct. 13, and then met with her Saturday to collect the rest of his payment and complete the procedure.
Ortegon was released on a $4,500 bond, the newspaper said.
