Helping Needy Kids: Smiles For Life

By | Uncategorized

If you’re a dentist who’s thought about being in the Smiles For Life program, here’s something that may help you decide the time has come.

Since it began more than twenty years ago, Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars to benefit needy children. The more dentists who take part, the more money we can raise. Who wouldn’t want to be involved with that?

“Here’s how it works,” a participating dentist explained. “March through June, Ultradent donates all the whitening materials. Your practice donates the time. Peoples’ smiles are professionally whitened, and 100% of the patients’ contributions goes directly to kids in need, both in your own community and around the world.”

Once you’re signed up, the Smiles For Life foundation sends you everything you need, including a box filled with printed materials for promoting the event. My Social Practice, a dental industry social marketing company, provides digital graphics and online support.

The 2020 Smiles For Life campaign is going to be here before you know it. If it sounds like something that’s right for you, you can sign up by following  this link. It’s a great way to market your practice and help needy children all over the world, including kids right in your own back yard!

Very Simple, Very Effective

The Smiles For Life Foundation has helped needy children all over the world for more than twenty years, by raising money to support children’s charities.

The centerpiece of the Smiles For Life Foundation is its annual teeth whitening campaign, which runs each year from March 1 through June. Hundreds of Crown Council dentists across the United States and Canada participate by whitening the teeth of their patients. Instead of paying the dentist, payment goes directly to Smiles For Life.

“Smiles for Life works very simply,” said Greg Anderson, the head of Crown Council. “Ultradent provides the whitening material. [Dentists] provide the professional service. The patient directly contributes to the Smiles for Life Foundation for the cost of the whitening.”

Ultradent has been the leader in professional teeth whitening products for more than twenty-five years. They are the makers of Opalescence and Opalescence Go.

The Smiles For Life Foundation receives 100% of the contributions, and in turn distribute all funds to approved charities. These include Feed the Children, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and many more.

Smiles For Life: The Really Cool Part

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

The Crown Council dentists who participate in humanitarian work made possible by the Smiles For Life Foundation say their goal is to improve the lives of those they come in contact with.

“Our motto is,” one of them said,  “it’s not about the teeth, it’s about the people.”

The Smiles For Life Foundation is the charitable arm of the Crown Council, and in the more than twenty years since it was established, it has raised more than forty million dollars. That money is used to help seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children all over the world.

Smiles For Life raises money through an annual teeth whitening campaign. Each year, from March through June, Crown Council dentists all over the United States and Canada offer their teeth whitening services at greatly reduced prices. Instead of paying the dentist, though, patients whose teeth are whitened make a donation to Smiles For Life.

Half of that payment goes to the local charity partner of the participating dentist. The rest goes the Smiles For Life Foundation, for distribution to approved charities all over the world.

Participating charities include St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.

“The really cool part?” said Garth Brooks. “100% of the money goes straight to the kids.”

Smiles For Life has also funded humanitarian expeditions into the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. “At the end of the day,” said one of the participating dentists, “it’s really not about how many teeth you fix in a day. It’s about the people that you put your arm around, and let them know that we’re all God’s children.”

The Smiles For Life Foundation has been raising money to benefit children’s charities for more than twenty years. The latest campaign wrapped up at the end of June, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about next year.

Smiles for Life uses teeth whitening to help children's charitiesSmiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars since it began in 1998. It’s one of those ideas that is beautiful in its simplicity: participating Crown Council dentists all over the United States and Canada offer special teeth whitening services from March through June. Instead of paying the dentist, you pay the Smiles For Life Foundation. Half of that payment goes to the Foundation, while the other half goes to a local charity of the dentist’s choosing.

The payment may be split fifty-fifty, but 100% of it benefits needy children all over the world.

The program could not succeed without the participation of Ultradent. Ultradent donates all of the whitening supplies, and is a maker of professional-grade teeth whitening products used by dentists everywhere.

Did you miss out this year? We’re sorry for that! But rest assured, the wildly successful Smiles For Life program will be back in 2020, whitening teeth and raising money for the worthiest of causes, children who are seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged.

Each year, he explained, Ultradent donates teeth whitening products used in Smiles For Life.

And those dentists? Crown Council dentists use those Ultradent products to professionally whiten teeth for Smiles For Life. Hundreds of practices across the United States and Canada take part.

And that’s just to name a few.
