Smile For Life Day, is a national celebration of good oral health sponsored by Crest Healthy Smiles in October.

It is one of the many joint initiatives between Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Crest Healthy Smiles designed to provide Club members with oral health education and tools as well as increased access to dental professionals. The partnership is in response to a 2000 oral health report by the Surgeon General stating that dental decay is at an epidemic level, especially among children in underserved communities.

Club members who attend Smile For Life Day will participate in a variety of fun activities to educate them about the importance of good oral health and may include:

• Free dental screenings by dentists the Crest Smile Shoppe.
  
• Participate in oral hygiene workshops to learn proper brushing techniques and healthy snacking.
  
• Participate in games and activities taken from the Cavity-Free Zone curriculum program. This is a turn-key program created by Boys & Girls Clubs of America and CHS which has age-specific activities to help children learn how to develop and maintain healthy oral habits.
