The Smiles For Success Foundation was established in 1995 by members of the American Association of Women Dentists. Smiles for Success assists women in transition from welfare to work who cannot afford the cost of dental care by offering free care to women graduates of accredited job readiness and placement programs or other community-based agencies, religious institutions, or rehabilitative systems. While restoring oral health and a pretty smile, Smiles for Success gives participants a competitive edge in the job market by enhancing their appearance and assurance.
