Give Kids A Smile NYCDS 2025 Recap!
On Friday, February 7, 2025, the New York County Dental Society hosted its annual Give Kids A Smile NYCDS event, a tradition since 2014. Held in East Harlem, the event aims to raise awareness of the importance of good oral health within the community, instill good oral hygiene habits and detect children in need of follow-up care and connect them to a dental home. Over 200 volunteers participated in the event which offered clinical exams, preventive fluoride treatment and oral health/nutrition education to more than 1,000 children from 10 local schools.
Check out how successful our past in-person GKAS events were!
The Give Kids A Smile NYC 2023 leadership was invited by the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, along with other health-focused organizations, to open up Nasdaq on February 6!
