Every year thousands of women are physically abused by their partner. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, about 1.5 million people end up experiencing physical abuse from a spouse or intimate partner every year. Reports of domestic violence have risen over the past few years leaving more and more women broken on the inside and out. These women end up feeling alone, unsafe and bruised in every way possible, and their transition back into a normal life is not an easy one. They must go through countless hours to help heal their psychological and mental wounds, but often time these sessions are of no use because of the physical scars that remind them of their horrible ordeal still exist. Many of these women do not have the money to pay for the cosmetic procedures to help remove these scars, which often consist of broken teeth and a shattered smile.

On May 27, 1999 the Give Back A Smile (GBAS) Charity Program was launched, opening up the doors for many of these women to get their smile back. Through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation (AACDCF) their mission is to help restore the dignity of the heroic women who left their abusive relationships through compassionate, pro-bono cosmetic dentistry. Top Cosmetic Dentists from all over the States volunteer to help these women, and thanks to them the program has succeeded in helping over a thousand women in regaining their smiles.

We have all heard about the devastating tragedy which struck the island nation of Haiti in 2010. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the country with such force that has left many people homeless and injured. The capital city of Port-au-Prince was left in ruins and various outreach and volunteer groups flew over there to help get the city back into shape. As part of the effort to help get better health care into the country Rank My Dentist helped sponsor a team of 12 people, many of them students and faculty from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and New York University College of Dentistry, to collect data from the Haitian island of Île à Vache’s population’s dental health and knowledge.
