The Power of A Smile...

$50 - Sponsor a fluoride varnish treatment for a child that will help prevent the development of cavities for up to three months.

$250 - Give the gift of a dental exam, cleaning and full mouth x-rays.

$5,000 - Help over thirty adults experiencing tooth pain have necessary treatments, including extractions and fillings.

While more than 100,000 Tucsonans lack medical insurance, many more lack dental insurance. Dental health is directly related to many serious, life-threatening health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Poor dental health affects people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Your Gift of a Great Smile helps ensure that a child stays cavity free, that a dad gets a job because he smiles in the interview, and that a young mother is free from tooth pain due to an emergency extraction.
