Smiles For Life: A Resounding Success!

By | Uncategorized

The annual Smiles For Life campaign has been a resounding success since it launched more than twenty years ago. To date, it has raised more than forty million dollars, and all of it goes to children’s charities.

The secret to its success really is no secret. Established by the Crown Council, hundreds of dentists throughout the United States and Canada take part each year. From March through June they whiten the teeth of patients. Rather than pay the dentist, these patients donate to Smiles For Life.

Their donations support such worthy organizations as Feed the Children, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the Ronald McDonald House, to name just a few. Kids who are seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged benefit.

The more dentists who paraticipate in Smiles For Life, of course, the greater its success. “Imagine if every practice recommended the Smiles For Life campaign to just one other practice!” said Crown Council Managing Director Greg Anderson. “We could double the amount of money we raise in a year if everybody just recommended just one more practice.”

Interested dentists can find out more about participating in Smiles For Life. Please visit the Smiles For Life Facebook page to help spread the word!

Smiles For Life Helps Your Practice Grow!

By | Children's charities, Crown Council, Smiles For Life campaign

The Smiles For Life campaign is focused primarily on helping kids in need. Thousands of dentists in the United States and Canada take part every year, donating their time and talent to whiten the smiles of their patients for free. The patients, in turn, make a charitable donation to Smiles For Life.

That is as it should be. But when dentists are doing it right, their Smiles For Life patients can become patients for life.

“If you’re not careful, you’ll be tempted to treat Smiles For Life patients like they’re different from a new patient,” says Smiles For Life co-founder Steven J.Anderson.

That, he says, can be a trap. He recommends treating these patients like you expect them to be there for the long haul. Get to know each one, along with their dental health goals. Afterward, invite them to post pictures of their new, whitened smiles to social media, and to tag your office.

These are just a few of his suggestions. The bottom line? “Make a friend, and make a patient for life.”

The best thing about the Smiles For Life campaign is that it helps kids in need. It has raised more than forty million dollars and supports the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation, Feed the Children, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House, and many others.

Smiles For Life runs each year from from March through June. Interested dentists can find out more about Smiles For Life participation. Please visit the Smiles For Life Facebook page to help spread the word!

By | Children's charities, Crown Council, Smiles For Life campaign

There’s still time to take advantage of the professional teeth whitening offered through the Crown Council’s annual Smiles For Life campaign!

Smiles For Life is an annual fundraiser that has raised some forty million dollars for children’s charities since it began more than twenty years ago. The campaign begins every March and runs through the end of June.

Hundreds of dental practics in the United States and Canada take part in Smiles For Life every year. Their participation makes all the difference.

Equally important is Ultradent, the maker of Boost in-office whitening and Opalescence® take-home trays. Ultradent provides thousands of special teeth whitening kits to the campaign, free of charge. “We are so grateful to Ultradent for all that they do to make the campaign possible,” said Crown Council Managing Director Greg Anderson.
