Give Kids a Smile Day




Dear Parent,

On February 6, 2009, the Indiana Dental Association, in partnership with the American Dental Association, will host the 7th annual Give Kids a Smile Day. Dentists across the state are
opening their offices to donate dental care to children from low-income families.

To participate in Give Kids a Smile, the child must meet thefollowing requirements:

• The child must be 16 years old or under.
• The student must not have access to dental insurance and be unable to afford regular dental care, OR if the child has Medicaid, the family must not have a dental provider.

If your child is in need of dental care and meets the requirements mentioned above, please
follow the directions below. This is a one-day only event. Appointments are required
because many offices cannot accept walk-in patients.

Scheduling an appointment for Give Kids a Smile is as easy as 1, 2, 3

1. Call (800) 680-9302 and an operator will confirm your eligibility, and take the
following information to provide to a volunteer Give Kids a Smile dental office:

• Name
• Phone number
• City where you live
• Number of children who need treatment

2. A local dental office will call you to set up the appointment time.

3. Show up at the scheduled appointment time. Appointments are on a first-come
first-served basis and cannot be rescheduled.

Sincerely,
The Indiana Dental Association
