Smiles For Life: A Marvel of Simplicity

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.

It’s a marvel of simplicity. Participating dentists provide the professional whitening service and the patient contributes the value of the whitening directly to the Smiles For Life Foundation, not the practice. Every penny raised goes to participating children’s charities, including St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Garth Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation, and many others.

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.

Interested dentists are encouraged to find out more about Smiles For Life participation. To get your with whitened please follow this link to find a participating Crown Council dentist near you. We also invite you to visit the Smiles For Life Facebook page to help spread the word!

Smiles For Life: Successful and Long Lasting!

By | Children's charities

The Smiles For Life campaign is one of the most successful and long-lasting charitable campaigns in all of dentistry, and the 2021 edition is well underway.

Smiles for Life uses teeth whitening to help children's charitiesFrom now through June, participating dentists will be whitening teeth for charity. The money they raise benefits children’s charities, and helps kids all over the world. Since it began more than twenty years ago, Smiles For Life has raised nearly forty-five million dollars.

It started in 1998 with the efforts of just one dentist, who began donating the proceeds from a special teeth whitening campaign to children’s charities. “We now have made charitable contributions to well over seven hundred different, individual children’s charities,” says Crown Council Managing Director Greg Anderson, “and have become a force for doing good in hundreds of dental practices each year.”

The campaign works like this: participating dentists throughout the United States and Canada offer special teeth whitening services from March through the end of June. Instead of paying the dentist, patients make a donation to the Smiles For Life Foundation. 100% of the proceeds go to participating children’s charities, including St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House, and many others.

The Smiles For Life campaign would not be possible without Ultradent, a maker of dental products. Each years, Ultradent provides thousands of special teeth whitening kits to the campaign, free of charge. Ultradent makes Boost in-office whitening and Opalescence® take-home trays.

Dentists are supplied with everything they need at no cost, thanks to Ultradent, the maker of Opalescence and other whitening products. “They not only donate all of the whitening kits,” Greg Anderson explained. “They donate all of the costs of getting those to” participating dentists, as well as promotional materials.
