“I believe in TeamSmile because TeamSmile’s method of delivering dental care to underserved children is the most effective I have ever seen. It harnesses the stardom of professional athletes to connect underserved children with top-notch dentists. When larger-than-life professional athletes wade through a sea of starry-eyed children and fawning adults, everyone has a great experience “going to see the dentist.”
– Jim Zenk, CPA/JD, Trident CPA Services
“During the TeamSmile event I got to personally see kids who had not ever been to the dentist. At eight years old they needed extractions due to infected teeth. That’s not a fun first experience! However, with the TeamSmile event they were able to be supported by their peers, their teachers, TeamSmile volunteers and enjoy the experience of meeting Sport Stars and mascots.”
