Give Kids a Smile
Thousands of low-income children across the state of Minnesota received much-needed free dental care in February when volunteer dentists and other dental professionals donated their time and resources to provide free care during our annual Give Kids a Smile event.

Give Kids a Smile is a unique program coordinated and led by the Minnesota Dental Association. This program is one of several ways in which the Minnesota Dental Association is trying to make sure that every child has access to dental care.

Any citizen of Minnesota who watches TV,
reads a newspaper or listens to the radio in January can likely tell you about Give Kids a Smile. Thanks to an impressive public awareness campaign, word about the event reaches far and wide.
The advertising element of the campaign is sponsored by three business partners, who have worked hand-in-hand with the MDA from the first year of Give Kids a Smile. The companies provide funding to purchase advertising on WCCO-TV, as well as many outstate radio stations.
