Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/20/2015 -- A smile is a powerful thing. It can help people feel more confident, more accepted, and it can make someone feel better when they're down. Now, the power of a smile can even help sick children recover from illness. Tempe Cosmetic Dentist Shalimar Family Dentistry is participating in the Smiles for Life campaign this year, which aims to raise funds for Hope Arising. The drive has so far generated $33 million dollars since 1998 for hundreds of charities, and Shalimar Family Dentistry hopes to use the power of smiles to get children healthy again.

The Smiles for Life fundraiser takes place March through June. Dentists from all over the country offer discounted whitening services, and 100% of the proceeds go to charity. The donations are 100% tax deductible. Everybody wins.

The event is sponsored by the Crown Council - an alliance of leading-edge dental teams that are passionately committed to promoting oral health and humanitarian service work. Tempe Family Dentist Shalimar Family Dentistry is a premier participant in this year's fundraising drive, and the practice's dental health experts are excited to donate their time and talent to the cause.

A spokesperson for Shalimar Family Dentistry explained, "We are thrilled to be able to contribute our time and talent to help people get dental whitening in the name of a good cause. We are passionate about family values, and we believe children should get the best care available. That's why we provide outstanding dental care for families and why we want to help support Hope Arising in their amazing work to help children overcome sickness and disease. Interested parties should contact us now for details about the event and when they can receive the treatment."
