CHARLOTTE, N.C.—KaVo Kerr Group brands worked together to raise nearly 2,000 oral care products as part of the America's ToothFairy Smile Drive, a national campaign to collect these items for at-risk children and raise awareness of the importance of oral health.

The Smile Drive started in February, National Children's Dental Health Month, and culminated on March 20th, World Oral Health Day.

Seven KaVo Kerr Group locations participated representing Kerr, NOMAD, i-CAT, DEXIS, Gendex, Instrumentarium, Pelton & Crane and KaVo. Together they collected 1,304 toothbrushes, 411 tubes of toothpaste, 244 packages of floss and 24 bottles of mouthrinse. The Atlanta-based DEXIS Customer Care Center has the added distinction of being the business that collected the most products in the nationwide Smile Drive.

The much-needed oral care products were donated to worthy organizations near the participating offices including: Project Hope Alliance, Kids on the Move, HOPE Atlanta, A Woman's Place, West Boulevard Boys and Girls Club, Joy House and Shelter, Inc.

"We are so grateful that caring dental professionals across the country are helping ensure children receive the oral care products they need through the America's ToothFairy Smile Drive," said Fern Ingber, America's ToothFairy president and CEO. "The participation of KaVo Kerr Group in the Smile Drive will help promoted healthy smiles for local children while providing at-risk youth the tools they need to prevent the pain and embarrassment associated with tooth decay."
