Children's Dental Health Month

February is National Children's Dental Health Month.  This month becomes a special focus for dentists and child advocates to make sure that all children--including underprivileged children--know about the importance of oral health.

To celebrate, Dr. Blake Matthews of MatthewsSmiles, has partnered with Smile Squared to donate a toothbrush for every Facebook like in the month of February.

Smile Squared is a young company set on making a difference in the world.  Their mission is "to offer practical, sustainable solutions to help improve the . . . health and educational needs of children around the world."

Smile Squared's story began in 2010 when founder Eric Cope and his wife went on a humanitarian trip to Central America.  There, they saw how much dental health impacts a child's life.  They noted, "Kids across the globe lack the necessary dental hygiene to maintain quality health and self-esteem.  In hopes of giving every child the opportunity for clean, healthy teeth, Smile Squared was born."

Ordinarily, Smile Squared works on a buy one/give one basis.  But for the month of February, there is no purchase necessary.  Just like MatthewsSmile Facebook page and posts and you give a toothbrush to a child in need.

Not only is it an incredibly easy way to help a child in need, but it shows how much Dr. Matthews cares about kids, community and giving back.
