Millennium Fellowship Project: Smiles for Life
Smiles for Life is a social impact initiative focused on creating oral health awareness within communities. The project educates and informs community members, schools, and children about proper oral hygiene practices. Smiles for Life successfully reached out to these groups, teaching oral care, examining individuals, distributing oral hygiene products, and providing scaling and polishing services for some patients.
