Imagine being able to do  something to benefit needy children all over the world, while improving your smile at the same time. By taking part in the Smiles For Life campaign, you can do just that!

If you haven’t heard, Smiles For Life is the charity arm of the Crown Council, an alliance of dentists committed to professional excellence and community service. All you have to do to participate is schedule teeth whitening at a participating Crown Council dentist office.

Instead of paying the dentist, you pay the Smiles For Life Foundation. Half of that payment will go to a local charity. That’s all there is to it.

Sound easy? It is! Now in its twenty-first year, Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars since 1998. Hundreds of children’s charities have benefited, including St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Feed the Children, and the Ronald McDonald House.

“100% of the money goes straight to the kids,” said country music star Garth Brooks, whose Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation is among the charities to benefit.

The 2019 Smiles For Life campaign began in March and runs through June. Hundreds of dental practices in the United States and Canada are taking part. The teeth whitening supplies are all donated by Ultradent, the maker of professional-grade teeth whitening products used by dentists everywhere.
