IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 345 Smile Generation-trusted dental offices and over 500 PDS-supported clinicians served their local communities on August 23, 2014, by participating in the fourth annual Smile Generation Serve Day. The clinicians and dental care teams provided donated dentistry to community members who would not otherwise have access to dental care, and were able to help more than 2,000 people during this community outreach event.

The dental offices teamed up with local organizations and community partners, such as youth centers, nonprofit organizations and churches, to identify individuals that were in need of basic dental care.

"It's amazing what can be accomplished when people come together for one common goal. Serving others really is at the heart of The Smile Generation," said Kyle Guerin, We Serve Manager for Pacific Dental Services.

Patients received everything from cleanings, exams, and digital X-rays to extractions, implants and restorations. Smile Generation Serve Day was supported in part by Henry Schein® Dental. Henry Schein is the largest provider of health care products and services to office-based practitioners.
