GKAS and NCDHM---KNOW THE DIFFERENCE??

Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) is celebrated the first Friday in February each year as part of National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM).  NCDHM, focusing on oral health education for all children regardless of economic status, occurs during the entire month of February.  The one-day effort, GKAS, is designated to provide preventive and restorative care as well as oral health education to low-income children who do not have access to dental care.  Dentists, dental school students, and staff members across the country work in their areas to provide this care.  Consider participating in GKAS Day in your community next year.  Check the ADA website for more information.
