Each year more than 5,000 children in the mountainous regions of Guatemala, Nepal, Vietnam and India have their lives enhanced through the work of the Smile Tree and Climb for a Cause. The services provided to these children have translated to as much as $1.2 million in eqjuivalent annual dental services through the work of over 100 dental professional volunteers. Since 1996 over 100,000 children have been helped through this work.
In 2013 SmileTree sponsored nine oral health education and treatment projects.
