Give Kids a Smile Miami, an event designed to provide free preventive and restorative dental care to children of low income families, was held in various locations in Miami recently. Volunteer dentists, dental assistants and hygienists provided dental screenings, cleanings and more to children from neighborhood organizations and schools in Miami-Dade County. Parents and their children also learned about the growing scientific evidence that oral health is critical to staying healthy.

The Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade, an initiative of the Miami-Dade County Health Department, sponsored the event. The Health Foundation of South Florida provided funding for the event.
