Many Reasons to Smile
We create smiles in three ways: by providing cleft lip and palate treatment, comprehensive dental care and individualized pediatric rehabilitation programs. These lasting legacies ensure that children receive the care they need to live happy, hopeful lives.
How We Help Children
Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment
A child born with a cleft lip or palate suffers both physically and emotionally. Sharing Smiles provides free corrective surgery and year-round comprehensive care so each child may proudly share their smile with the world.
Dentistry
Children who grow up without dental care don’t have a chance to have a healthy smile. Sharing Smiles provides free preventative and restorative dental care for children all year long right in their own neighborhood. That’s a lot of reasons to smile.
Pediatric Rehabilitation
Children with physical deformities and mobility limitations must often live in facilities away from their families. We take an individualized approach to each patient and work with local caregivers to share skills, resources, and techniques so these children can adapt their environment.
