being a teenager is hard.
But imagine if you had to hide your smile, or suffered in pain,
and no one cared...
Tomorrow’s SMILES, a special initiative of America’s ToothFairy, was established in 2010 with a founding gift by Dr. Ronald Goldstein to provide teens with critical dental services that cost more than their families could afford.
More than 300 teens
have received life-changing services to restore their smiles and their self-confidence, and prepare them for healthy, productive futures. (You can read a few of their stories below.)
many more still need help!
a gift for you.
A pioneer in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Ronald Goldstein transformed smiles through careful construction and attention to the smallest ofdetails.
That clear focusalso transferred to thecamera that he alwaystook with him while lecturing around the world.
Always in awe of the beauty around him,Ron captured the elements of that awe through the lens of his camera during his travels.
Thephotographs and stories he captured are what he learned about life by intentionally seeking and have been compiled in his award-winning book, About Life: A Photographer’s Story.
Dr. Goldstein has generously donated his new book as a gift for you with your donation to restore young smiles and help give teens in need a better chance in life.
Brittany's Story
14 year-old Brittany was born missing 12 teeth and was in desperate need of help! Her missing teeth made it hard to speak properly.
Her classmates called her “Fangs”
and asked why she hadn’t fixed her teeth.
I want people to smile back at me, not point and stare.”
Her mother is a single parent, and they live with Brittany's grandparents. They simply didn’t have the money to get the dental care she needed.
She told us, "I am to the point where I come home from school and just cry. I don’t want to be made fun of anymore."
Thanks to a generous donor, now Brittany has a beautiful smile!
Giselle's Story
15 year-old Giselle knew that in order to achieve her dream of working in broadcast news, she would need to fix her crowded, crooked teeth.
Unfortunately, orthodontic treatment was out of reach for Giselle's struggling family.
After receiving a Tomorrow’s SMILE grant, Giselle can’t stop smiling!
I can smile big because my teeth are so nice. They give me confidence that I did not have before! Thank you!”
