That could mean BIG MONEY in your pocket! Dental practices and companies across the country are invited to join America's ToothFairy: National Children's Oral Health Foundation in a www.dentaltown.com national campaign held throughout February, National Children's Dental Health Month. This effort, the America's ToothFairy Smile Drive, promotes the importance of dental health and collects toothbrushes, toothpaste and other oral-care products for underserved children. America's ToothFairy launched its first Smile Drive in 2014, and since then has collected more than 660,000 oralcare products for children nationwide. Last year, Smile Drives were held at dental practices, companies, schools, pharmacies, community centers and more, with all donations benefiting underserved children. Though the Smile Drive is a national campaign, local impact is a key component. Participating practices and businesses select a local non-profit organization of their choice to receive their donations and personally deliver them-a great opportunity for employee and community engagement. Past Smile Drive recipients include local shelters, food banks, Boys and Girls Clubs, clinics and other youth-serving organizations. Anyone interested in participating in the Smile Drive should complete a brief online registration form that will grant access to a free Smile Drive Toolkit with downloadable flyers, templates and other tools for promotion. All Smile Drive participants will be recognized in the National Smile Drive Directory. To register for the Smile Drive, visit AmericasToothFairy. org or call (800) 559-9838. ■ STOP talking to the landlord and Call George TODAY!
