Smiles at San Tan Ranch has donated their time and expertise to the Smiles for Life drive while donating a considerable amount of their cash to Hope Arising.
Gilbert, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2015 -- Dentistry is an essential part of overall health, but it has also found its place as a cosmetic discipline, helping people not only maintain their teeth but optimize them to create a beautiful smile. America leads the world in this practice, while many other countries struggle to get the basic care they need. Smiles at San Tan Ranch is a family dentistry office in Gilbert committed to giving back. They allow Americans getting teeth whitening to help those abroad get the basic care they need through their charity work.
Participating in Smiles for Life as part of the Crown Council, the family dentistry practice receives Ultradent Boost and Opalescence® teeth whitening materials for free, and donates their time to those undergoing the procedure. This enables 100% of all proceeds go to a charity to benefit children all over the world, split 50-50 between the Gilbert dentist's local charity of choice and those further afield. In this way, the Gilbert community gets brighter teeth while improving lives.
Their donation to Hope Arising helps Addis Ababa University Dental School give lectures and facilitate field experience with dental students who accompany them to the rural health post in Dera, as well as training local health care workers and ensuring infections and dental issues no longer become life threatening.
A spokesperson for Smiles at San Tan Ranch explained, "We consider dental problems as an inconvenience because things like abscesses, infections, swollen gums and the like can be so easily and effectively treated here. In Dera, they can be fatal. That's why we wanted to make sure dental services were being supplied to those who most need them. Equally, our work with Smiles for Life ensures the less fortunate here at home and throughout America can benefit from our expertise, with all proceeds from teeth whitening services going to charity."
