Charitable Services

The Give Kids A Smile® name was first used by the Greater St. Louis Dental Society and a group of dentists who set up a temporary full-service clinic that treated nearly 400 children over two days in February 2002.

Since then the program has grown enormously, and in 2008 resulted in treatment of over 480,000 children. Events took place at approximately 1,888 locations across the nation, with over 47,000 dental team volunteers, providing free services to underserved children.
