Raised over $3,300 for children’s charity

When local dental patients have their teeth whitened, they can smile a little brighter knowing that they are also bringing a smile to the face of a child in need. The Smiles for Life campaign ran from March to June, and 100% of the proceeds from teeth-whitening procedures were contributed directly to the Smiles for Life Foundation. This foundation helps fund worthy children’s charities and humanitarian work, both locally and around the world.

As an additional incentive, each teeth-whitening patient enjoyed their smile-brightening procedure at a discounted rate. Patients loved the unique opportunity to improve the lives of disadvantaged children while also enhancing their own smile. Cary Family Dental raised over $3,300 for this very worthy and important charity. In the past 10 years, it has raised over $100,000 for the campaign. CFD teamed up with Crown Council, an alliance of leading-edge dental teams that are passionately committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer, and serving their communities through charitable work. Ultradent donated all of the whitening supplies, and CFD donated all of its time.

“It is a wonderful cause to be a part of. We feel that giving back to our patients and to the children who benefit from the Smiles for Life Foundation is very satisfying. When someone gets a brighter smile, it makes their personality brighter. It’s an amazing transformation,” said Dr. Allan Acton with Cary Family Dental.
