The Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) program, launched nationally in 2003 by the American Dental Association, provides underserved children with free oral health care. This is an opportunity for kids who can’t usually afford to see a dentist receive free dental care. Dentists, as well as dental hygienists, assistants, and other volunteers, use their time and talents to ensure that children are given the dental care they need and deserve all across the country.
