This year’s Smiles For Life campaign is about to begin! Can you feel the excitement yet? The annual teeth whitening campaign that raises money for children’s charities begins on March first and runs through June.
Hundreds of dental practices across the United States and Canada take part in Smiles For Life by offering specials on teeth whitening. But instead of paying the dentist, the patient makes a donation to the Smiles For Life foundation, which in turn gives it to a children’s charity.
The Smiles For Life campaign is a unique opportunity to do some good in the world. But it can help grow your dental practice, too. Many of those coming in for teeth whitening will be first-time visitors. It’s a great way to convert them into regular patients.
“Their first experience with your practice is through a project that you’re joining together to do good,” said a Smiles For Life spokesman. “Not a bad way to start a relationship!”
All of the whitening materials are donated by Ultradent, the makers of Boost in-office whitening and Opalescence® take-home trays.
Smiles For Life has raised many millions of dollars since it began more than twenty years ago. To get involved, dentists can use a convenient sign-up form.

The Smiles for Life Foundation is the charity arm of the Crown Council, a prestigious alliance of dental professionals committed to dental excellence, fighting oral cancer, and to serving their communities and children’s charities.
