February 1st is Give Kids A Smile Day


What's the difference between Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) and National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM)?

Give Kids A Smile is an annual centerpiece to National Children's Dental Health Month and is observed every year on the first Friday in February, while NCDHM is celebrated during the entire month of February. National Children's Dental Health Month focuses on providing oral health education to all children despite their economic status. Give Kids A Smile was designed to provide education, preventative and restorative care to low-income children who do not have access to care.
