Every year from March 1^st to June 30^th, the teams at Elizabethtown, Doe Run and Leola Dental Associates volunteer their time and talent to join with the Smiles for Life Foundation to raise money for children with special needs, By utilizing all of the proceeds from this annual teeth whitening campaign, Smiles for Life has raised over $30 Million since 1998; $256,000 of that total has been raised by Elizabethtown, Doe Run, and Leola Dental Associates. If you are thinking about a smile makeover but you are nervous about where to start… try teeth whitening and help support the children of our community. Make an appointment to have your teeth professionally whitened and 50% of the money raised will go to the Smiles for Life Foundation with the other 50% being donated to Special Olympics Lancaster County.
