Smile Back Rewards
At Tooth Protectors we believe in giving back to the communities we serve,
so each month we will pick one school where we have provided services
and we will give them $150 to buy whatever the kids in their school may
need. The money can be for coats and mittens, pens and pencils, tooth
brushes and floss, whatever the kids need. We know school budgets are
tight, so we really think this program can do some good. We also want to
thank all the nurses for their hard work and to let them know we appreciate
their help in making Tooth Protectors a model for oral health care in Maine.
