Dr. Cavan Brunsden is the statewide
manager of GIVE KIDS A SMILE,
a collaborative effort coordinated by
the NJ Dental Association, but delivered by
more than 1,000 volunteers statewide. To
date, more than 13,000 children have been
seen through this wonder program, which has
donated more than 2.4 million dollars in
free dental services.
Friday, February 5, 2010, will mark
the seventh year of Give Kids A Smile! (GKAS)
National Children’s Dental Access Day. The
New Jersey Dental Association has been a
participating state since the program’s
inception in 2003. Since then, more than
13,000 children age 12 and under have come
through the program and have received nearly
$2.4 million in free dental services at more
than 80 locations across the state. And, the
program continues to grow!
Parents, guardians, school nurses and
community leaders have taken advantage of
this incredible opportunity to have free
dental care for children in need as well as
introducing children to dentistry via a
positive, fun-filled day of learning about
the importance of oral health.
