Products donated to ADA's 'Give Kids A Smile' program Mydent International has donated chil- dren’s face masks, along with prophy paste, gloves, barrier products, patient bibs, cups, sponges and cotton rolls to the ADA Give Kids A Smile program, which is devoted to improving oral health of children in need. Pediatric patients love Mydent’s Marvy Masque Cone Face Masks because they are designed with four delightful characters: a dog, clown, rabbit and cat. Another chil- dren’s favorite among the donated prod- ucts is the DEFEND+PLUS Prophy Paste in bubblegum flavor. The product donation effort wasinitiated by Andrew Parker, CEO of Mydent Inter- national. Parker said, “Give Kids A Smile is one of the most important programs in the country for promoting oral health and im- proving the lives of our children.” In addition to this donation, Mydent International proudly supports Autism Speaks, the nation's largest and a highly effective autism science and advocacy or- ganization.
