Give Kids a Smile!

Friday, February 6 marks the annual Give Kids a Smile! (GKAS) day, when children 12 and under can receive free dental screenings and treatment that they otherwise may not be able to afford. The GKAS program in New Jersey is the culmination of the efforts of several different organizations under the direction of the New Jersey Dental Association. Services rendered include hygiene instruction, cleanings, screenings, x-rays, fillings, extractions, fluoride treatments, oral health education and much more. Volunteers work to ensure the program is fun and educational and that it gives many children a great first impression of visits to the dentist. See flyer for participating NJ dental offices and parent consent form or visit the GKAS website here.
