Gifting Smiles

Making one person smile can change the world

Maybe not the whole world, but their world

Gifting Smiles is a charitable project organised by Pramod Dental that offers treatment assistance for deformity problems of the face and teeth of young women who are unable to afford treatment due to their low socio-economic status.

This project adds life to the years of these unfortunate few, allowing them to live with dignity and self-confidence.

The face is the most visible portion of human identities, and it is the only part of our body we cannot hide. It conveys our emotions and innermost feelings. We often judge each other based on facial appearance, making assumptions on a whole range of issues. Facial appearance plays a vital role in human social relationships, level of self-confidence and enthusiasm in individuals. However, not all people are blessed with a beautiful face or a smile, and these unfortunate people find their appearance a barrier in communicating wholeheartedly. There are thousands of people afflicted by dental and facial deformities in our society. Unfortunately, most of them belong to the economically backward classes and are unable to get proper treatment due to their financial constraints.
