The American Dental Association is honored in 2009 to kick off our Give Kids A Smile program with St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols. The National League's Most Valuable Player of 2008 generously donated his time in recording the public service announcement below that will be aired nationwide.

Each year on the first Friday in February, thousands of the nation's dentists and their dental team members provide free oral health care services to children from low-income families across the country.

The ADA's Give Kids A Smile® program enhances the oral health of large numbers of needy children. Give Kids A Smile activities also highlight for policy makers the ongoing challenges that low-income families face in finding dental care. Find a program today!
