To give children the smiles they deserve the Give Kids A Smile program stretched across the state, and the country, providing preventive and restorative oral care, including cleanings, sealants, fillings, and x-rays. Fifty-three New Hampshire dentists, at twelve locations, participated in the program and were able to give care to 1,517 children who may not have received oral care otherwise.
