ATSU-ASDOH hosts 19th annual Give Kids a Smile event

Posted: April 17, 2026

A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-ASDOH) and the Arizona Dental Foundation welcomed 180 children from Adams Elementary School in Mesa, Arizona, for the 19th annual Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) event on Feb. 27, 2026, at the University's Mesa dental clinic.

More than 340 ATSU-ASDOH students, faculty, and alumni provided screenings, preventive care, and dental hygiene education throughout the day, with first-year dental students adding to the fun by dressing in a variety of character costumes and organizing an outdoor carnival.

The GKAS program was established nationally by the American Dental Association (ADA) in 2003, and provides free oral healthcare for underserved children with a goal to ensure access to quality oral healthcare for all.
