Gentle Dental and Smile Keepers Practices Nationwide are donating to Local Food Banks This Holiday Season

Each Donation of Two Non-Perishable Food Items Increases Chances of Winning a Take-home Whitening Kit or Power Toothbrush

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 16, 2016) – Gentle Dental and Smile Keepers practices nationwide are participating in a system-wide food drive to support families in each of their local communities. From now until December 20, each dental office will be asking their community to donate two or more non-perishable food items to support a local food bank.

Each donation of two or more non-perishable food items will increase the chances of winning a raffle for either a take-home teeth whitening kit ($199 value) or a power tooth brush ($139 value). All Gentle Dental and Smile Keeper dental offices will be pulling a winner for their practice. The local communities are welcome to donate as many times as they wish. All winners will be revealed on Dec. 26, 2016.

The brands are supported by InterDent Service Corporation (InterDent), one of the nation’s leading Dental Support Organizations (DSO) that provides non-clinical, business support services to independent group dental practices.

Each participating dental practice has selected a reputable local food bank for its donations. Dentists and staff will be dropping off the donated non-perishable food items before both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
