In the U.S., tooth decay affects children more than any other chronic, infectious disease, and rates of untreated tooth decay are twice as high for children from low- or limited-income families compared with children from middle- or high-income families. Sharing Smiles Day allows Benevis dental homes and their care teams to connect with neighbors and educate them on the importance of daily brushing, flossing, and good nutrition for a happy, healthy smile.

在美国，龋齿对儿童的影响比任何其他慢性传染病都要大，低收入或有限收入家庭的儿童未经治疗的龋齿率是中等收入或高收入家庭儿童的两倍。分享微笑日使Benevis牙科之家及其护理团队能够与邻居联系，并教育他们每天刷牙、使用牙线和良好营养对于快乐、健康微笑的重要性。

Over the past eight years, Benevis has provided dental relief to more than 3,000 patients across 13 U.S. states, thanks to the dedication of over 300 volunteers..
