Give Kids a Smile Day (GKAS) was started 10 years ago by the American Dental Association. It is the nation’s largest proactive approach to help children without dental insurance  with their dental needs, and to draw attention to the problem that many families face when trying to access basic dental care. GKAS takes place in every state.
