Canton Valley Dental Reaches out to the Community

Canton- On Friday, February 3rd Dr. Tracey Keefe and Dr. Matthew Keefe, of Canton Valley Dental, volunteered their time to provide free dental services to children in need as part of national “Give Kids a Smile Day.”

Canton Valley Dental spread the word earlier this year to neighboring school districts and surrounding charitable organizations such as the Canton/Avon Food banks and “Gifts of Love,” that they would be participating in this event. This gave families an opportunity to call and schedule their children for an appointment. They treated children between the ages of 2 to 20 years old from the Farmington Valley Community. Care as basic as routine cleanings, or as extensive as sealants, extractions, and/or fillings were performed.

Through the ADA Foundation's Give Kids A Smile program, launched nationally by the American Dental Association in 2003, more than 5 million underserved children have received free oral health services. These free services are provided by approximately 10,000 dentists annually, along with 30,000 other dental team members.

Each year Give Kids A Smile day is celebrated nationally on the first Friday in February. GKAS events are intended to be touch points for children who do not receive dental care, for whatever reason. Canton Valley Dental can proudly say that their efforts have made each child’s smile they treated a little bit brighter.
