·         More than 2,000 Teach for America educators from across the country will receive Smile for Picture Day™ education materials, designed for Kindergarten - grade 3 classrooms, to help promote healthy brushing routines.

·         Colgate’s fleet of mobile dental vans will travel to more than 150 elementary schools in September and October 2013 to provide free dental screenings on site.
