"This program has been very beneficial to Lydia, she has learned so much about caring for her teeth diet and the importance of regular dental visits. We would not have been able to do this without your assistance. Thank you!"
– Mother of Lydia, Save a Smile participant

"The Save a Smile Program, for my family and especially for Gabriela, has been a great blessing. At first I thought this was just one more of those programs that give you hope only to disappoint you. But now that I see that it is real we are very grateful to be able to say that programs like Save a Smile can change the life of a kid. Now my daughter will be able to smile with more confidence. I thank Dr. Bekish greatly for great help provided to people whom do not have the money to pay for those treatments for our kids. I wish for God to bless you for you good heart also the health worker the fortunately was chosen for Gabriela. Mrs. Lourdes is a great person and a great representative for Save a Smile. She was able to help us through every step. I thank everyone with all my heart may God bless you."

"The first time we saw Gustavo he walked straight up to the front counter and introduced himself. He was dressed in a suit and was very polite and smiled a lot even though he was only 8 years old, he interacted with us every single time and would ask questions and trusted our answers. He accepted our help willingly and sat still and cooperated from the beginning to the last appointment. This is amazing since he needed almost $4,000 in restorative treatment. This would be a lot for an adult to withstand let alone a small boy. A pleasure to help a child that has suffered with tooth pain."
