Give Kids A Smile at Tufts Dental

Give Kids A Smile at Tufts Dental What is Give Kids A Smile? A national initiative created in 2003 by the American Association to promote pediatric oral health in underserved communities.

Give Kids A Smile is a free event at Tufts Dental School which offers free dental exams, cleanings, fillings, oral health games, and prizes for disadvantaged children across the Boston/Greater Boston area. It is under this program, dental school's across the country organize a day, which aim to benefit hundreds of young children who lack proper dental care. Essentially, it's an access-to-care prog

ram. It's for the children that do not have a dentist, do not have health insurance, and do not have transportation. It's a program to break that barrier down, so that they can get free dental care. Services will include dental screenings, fluoride varnish applications, and sealant applications. Every child will receive free dental supplies including toothpaste and toothbrushes. Why Give Kids A Smile? Picture a day where pre-doctoral students, pediatric dental residents, and faculty can provide free dental services and valuable oral health education. A day, where at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, the halls will resonate with excited voices of hundreds of children participating in this program. A day, where all the emphasis is on making the kids more comfortable in a dental setting and encourage them to adopt good dental health habitat an early age, privet major problems later.

A BIG thank you again to all of the volunteers, donors, and sponsors who participated in our second GKAS event at Tufts Dental this year!

We were able to treat over 100 children in-need during this year’s event, many of whom have been able to return to the school for continued treatments, and we could not have done so without your support and generosity.

Please enjoy our recap video from the event, and thank you again!

We are excited to announce that Tufts Dental will be hosting a “Give Kids a Smile” Event for the 2nd year in a row! On May 4th & 5th, we will be providing disadvantaged kids around the Boston/Greater Boston area with FREE dental X-rays, cleanings, dental sealants, fillings, oral health education, and MUCH more.

This program changes lives and has a lasting impact!

Providing these children with adequate dental care will not only help relieve them from pain, but also miss fewer days of school, and boost their self-esteem as a result. Furthermore, the educational portion will help children and families learn how to properly care for their oral health.

Being part of Tufts 150th year anniversary celebration, this year’s event is slated to be even BIGGER and BETTER…but more work still needs to be done, and none of it is possible without YOU!

Help us by donating to our cause at the link below. ANY contribution - even if its just a simple share of this post - will help us to connect disadvantaged children with the oral health education and dental services that they need. Thank you!

Help Tufts University raise $17,000 for the project: Give Kids a Smile at Tufts Dental. Your gift will make a difference!

According to the ADA, the message to ring in the new year with is, "I love tap water"! It is part of the new theme that highlights the value of drinking tap water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. Those residing in areas where community water is fluoridated, that's you Massachusetts, have the added benefit of drinking water that helps prevent tooth decay.

Members gearing up for National Children's Dental Month in February can order or download posters for their dental offices.
