IUSD volunteers reduce fear while delivering smiles and care to community children
Monday, March 16, 2026
More than 100 children received free dental care during IUSD’s annual Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) event on March 14, 2026. Families gained access to sustainable dental resources as children’s fear of dental tools diminished. From the fun zone and face painting to dental screenings and fluoride varnish applications, patients progressed from stress‑relieving activities to receiving dental services. Some left with new IUSD patient charts created and plans for follow‑up care. Everyone, however, left feeling more at ease with dental visits and sporting more confident smiles.
