Give Kids A Smile
February 4, 2011

Each year on the first Friday in February, thousands of the nation’s dentists (including Dental Aid) and their dental team members provide free oral health care services to uninsured children from across the country.

In 2011, Dental Aid provided 181 children and with $47,000 of free care during Give Kids A Smile.  Dental Aid also partnered with other local dental providers – referring children and teens to orthodontists, endodontists, and other dental specialists for free care during Give Kids A Smile.

The American Dental Association’s Give Kids A Smile program enhances the oral health of large numbers of needy children. Give Kids A Smile activities also highlight for policy makers the ongoing challenges that low-income families face in finding dental care.
