This year’s edition of the Smiles For Life program is underway!

From now through June, participating dentists in the United States and Canada are offering teeth whitening services in exchange for a donation to Smiles For Life. The money that they raise is distributed to hundreds of children’s charities.

A veteran Smiles For Life dentist explained how it all works: “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.” If you’re a Crown Council dentist and would like to be a part of the effort, signing up is quick and easy!

The children’s charities receiving the funds have all been approved by Smiles For Life. They include St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.

Teeth whitening supplies are all donated by Ultradent, the maker of Boost and Opalesence whitening products.

The Smiles for Life Foundation is the charity arm of the Crown Council, an association of dental professionals committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer, and to serving their communities and children’s charities.
