"The most common chronic disease in children is nearly 100% preventable... tooth decay."

This February is National Children's Dental Health Month and we are raising money to support Welvista's Smiles for A Lifetime children's dental program. Smiles for A Lifetime provides quality preventative and restorative dental services and education on oral health to children in rural, underserved counties in South Carolina. Every gift is tax-deductible.

The Smiles dental centers offer a dental home for children that otherwise wouldn't have one, so they can stay, happy healthy and learning. Every dental center is located on school grounds to remove barriers to transportation and minimize the time they spend away from the classroom.

Your donation will help the Smiles program put healthy smiles on the faces of nearly 4,000 children this year! Thank you for joining us in making smiles for children in need!

About the Campaign

Welvista's Making Smiles for a Lifetime is a 28-day campaign during National Children's Dental Health month to raise funds and awareness through the collective power of our friends, family, neighbors, and social networks. All proceeds will benefit the Smiles dental centers serving children in Hampton, Allendale, Dillon, Manning, Summerton, and Turbeville schools. This campaign strengthens our communities in South Carolina by getting supporters, new and old, to invest in our work with us.

Together we know that we can reach our goal. Thank you for your support!
