Brighter Smiles for Brighter Futures
Our own Dr. Bruce Carter founded the Brighter Smiles for Brighter Futures foundation in 2001 as a way to help raise money for the fight against cancer in the Gwinnett County area. What started as a small, grassroots plan has grown into a movement with over 40 volunteer dentists raising over a MILLION DOLLARS with the motto “Dentists Curing Cancer One Smile At a Time!”
Brighter Smiles for Brighter Futures is a teeth whitening program where a patient makes a donation in lieu of paying for dental services. Then, a volunteer dentist provides the service to the patient with no compensation for the services. 100% of the patient’s donation goes to the foundation. Proceeds from the 2016 campaign went towards new 3D breast imaging equipment for Gwinnett Medical Center.
