It’s not often that you get the chance to help others while helping yourself. But this year from March through June, local Crown Council dentist John Levy and the Levy Dental Group are giving everyone the opportunity to give children a reason to smile — while giving themselves the gift of a brighter, more beautiful smile.
During his “Smiles for Life” campaign, Levy will offer professional teeth whitening services to the community at a significantly reduced cost and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to support children in need.
“The professional tooth whitening procedure is painless and only requires a few minutes in the dental chair. Patients can have whiter teeth in just three days — but those minutes that you spend at home and in the chair can help touch a child’s life forever,” Levy said. “My team and I are ready to professionally whiten people’s teeth for a great cause, and I’m inviting all members of my community to make an appointment with me during my Smiles for Life campaign to give themselves — and a child — a reason to smile.”
The Smiles for Life Foundation is the children’s charity organization of the Crown Council, an organization of leading-edge dentists throughout North America. Each year over a four-month period, Crown Council dentists participating in the Smiles for Life campaign offer professional teeth whitening services at a discount and donate the proceeds to children’s charities.
The Crown Council’s Smiles for Life Foundation has raised more than $27 million. Half of the local donations are earmarked for the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut, as the local children’s charity partner. The balance goes to the Smiles For Life Foundation, and will be distributed to worthy and approved children’s charities across the U.S. and Canada. Participating charities include the Children’s Miracle Network, Children of Romania, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, CURE (in Cambodia), Smiles For Hope, and the Kids Cancer Care Foundation.
“Dentists and their office teams perform all services for free, the people at Discus Dental donate all of the whitening supplies, and children that really need our help get 100 percent of the money to get a great start in life,” said Greg Anderson, director of the Crown Council and one of the founding members of Smiles for Life. “It’s a win-win situation — everyone gets a reason to smile.”
