ADA, Henry Schein ring bell for GKAS day

Henry Schein joined with the ADA on February 5 to open the Nasdaq stock exchange in celebration of the ADA's eighth annual Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) day. Representatives from all segments of the dental community and co-sponsors Dexus and Colgate-Palmolive were also present to help kick off this year's GKAS event.

The GKAS day annually provides free dental services and educational programs for more than 320,000 underserved children at about 1,700 locations across the U.S. The ADA estimates that almost 50,000 dental team volunteers, including 13,000 dentists, will participate in GKAS events this year, including in-school brushing demonstrations, community screening and treatment programs, and free private dental care.

Henry Schein Dental is again serving as the exclusive professional product sponsor of GKAS day. With the commitment and support of 40 supplier partners, Henry Schein will provide thousands of oral healthcare screening and prevention kits to the program containing supplies to serve more than 150,000 children.

Since the program's inception, Henry Schein and its supplier partners have donated more than $10 million in value to the GKAS program. This year the following manufacturers are supporting the program through product donations:
