In The Media - Smiles For Life Foundation

Jeff Gray DDS - Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry is committed to several charity organizations throughout North America. The two most predominant charities are the Teammates for Kids Foundation started with superstar Garth Brooks. The other is the Smiles For Life Foundation. This charity is committed to helping out children all over North America by donating all proceeds from Tooth Whitening. Smiles For Life has raised over $24 million dollars in the last 10 years. The City of San Diego is also committed to helping children by working with Jeff Gray DDS - Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry and declaring April 19th, SMILES FOR LIFE DAY.

A whiter, brighter smile will brighten your life and give you a whole new outlook. Jeff Gray DDS - Sedation and Cosmetic Dentistry, along with other local Crown Council dentist will provide the expertise to see that the whitening is done professionally and without cost.

The whitening products will be donated by Discus Dental. You make a charitable donation (amounting to less than the normal cost of whitening) directly to the Smiles For life Foundation to help sick and underprivileged children right here in our own community.

Major League baseball players will add to your donation and the total funds will be used for the benefit of children through the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation.
