Give Kids a Smile Week
March 29 to April 2, 2021

Smile Day is free dental care for children 1-18 years old, particularly children who are under-insured, have no dental insurance or haven’t been to the dentist in over one year.

Does your child need dental care but you don’t have coverage?  Children can receive care in dentist’s offices in Delaware, Montgomery & Philadelphia counties. Call PCCY at 215-563-5848 x21 starting on Monday, March 15 and we will make an appointment for your kids during Smile Week at a nearby dentist.  Download the flyer for more information and to help us spread the word.

About Give Kids A Smile Week

Give Kids a Smile Week connects dentists with children 1-18 years old, especially children who are under-insured, have no dental insurance, or haven’t been to the dentist in over one year. Dentists in Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties will open their offices free of charge to children to have their mouths examined, teeth cleaned, and in some cases, cavities filled, and teeth pulled.

PCCY has connected more than 3,000 children to free dental care since 2003 thanks to the generosity of dental practices, volunteers, donors, and partners who spread the word!

Looking for low-cost dental care after Smile Week?
