The ADA's Give Kids A Smile Program


Drawing on more than two decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Angela Crincoli joined the KinderSmile Foundation in Bloomfield, New Jersey, in 2017. As a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Dr. Angela Crincoli has often volunteered her services for the association’s Give Kids A Smile Day.

A program of the ADA Foundation, Give Kids A Smile began in 2002 when two dentists offered free dental service to almost 400 children in a dilapidated dental clinic in St. Louis, Missouri. The next year, inspired by their mission, the ADA developed a national program to provide oral health care for underprivileged children.

Give Kids A Smile Day is held on the first Friday of every February, kicking off a number of special events throughout the year. The program brings together thousands of volunteers, including dental professionals, to provide treatment and education to children across the country.
