Meadow Place Dental has been helping children in need… one smile at a time. Every spring and summer, as part of the Crown Council's Smiles for Life campaign, Meadow Place Dental offers teeth whitening services at a reduced price, and donates 100 percent of the proceeds to help children facing serious health and educational problems. This concludes the 12th annual Smiles for Life campaign that has raised more than $25 million to help children's charities.

During this year´s four-month 2009 campaign, Drs. Life, Kotzen, Commisso and Walsh´s practice raised $9500. Half of the funds raised were contributed to The Children´s Miracle Network for use right here in our community. The other half of the funds were contributed to the Garth Brooks' Teammates for Kids Foundation for use in health, education and inner city programs that benefit children.

"We had a great campaign this year and would like to thank all of our patients who helped to make it a success by purchasing whitening services during our campaign," explains Dr. Larry Life, a Crown Council dentist located in East Longmeadow. "It has been great seeing the beautiful smiles of our patients after performing whitening services — but it is even better to see the smiles on the faces of the children our contributions are helping to support."

The Smiles for Life Foundation is the children's charity organization of the Crown Council, an organization of leading-edge dentists throughout North America. Each year over a four-month period, participating Crown Council dentists offer professional teeth whitening services at a reduced price and donate ALL of the proceeds to children's charities. In all the years of the campaign Meadow Place Dental has raised over $125,000 for children's charities.

"Smiles for Life is a win-win situation," explains Greg Anderson, director of the Crown Council and one of the founders of the Smiles for Life campaign. "Patients get a brighter smile, our member dentists get the satisfaction of contributing to their community, and best of all, children who really need our help get a reason to smile."
