Rice Dentistry to Donate All Teeth Whitening Proceeds to Charity from March 1 to June 30

    IRVINE, CA, February 24, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Starting March 1, Rice Dentistry will be donating all proceeds from teeth whitening procedures to charity. This continues through until the end of June. Patients can feel even better about their teeth whitening procedure knowing that 100% of receipts will be going to charity as part of the Smiles for Life Campaign organized by the Crown Council.

The Smiles for Life Campaign benefits the Smiles for Life Foundation. Since its inception, the Campaign has raised a total of $34.5 million for charity, with $1.5 million in 2014 alone. The hope is that a similar or greater total will push the total donations over $36 million this year. Smiles for Life donates half of the donation from Rice Dentistry to local charity Canyon Acres Ranch. The other half goes to Smiles for Life, which supports numerous charity partners across the country.

Donating 100% of proceeds to charity depends on the generous donations of everyone involved. Dentists and their teams donate their time--they don't get paid for teeth whitening procedures--you write your check directly to Smiles for Life. Ultradent, the manufacturer of Opalescent teeth whitening, donates all supplies related to teeth whitening. And patients donate when they have their teeth whitening done. People who wish can also donate directly here without having teeth whitening.

"We have an ethic of service at Rice Dentistry," said Dr. Scott L. Rice. "Of course, we serve our patients, but we also serve our community in many ways. The Smiles for Life Campaign is one of our favorites because it gives us the opportunity to work with our patients in raising money for a worthwhile local charity."

Patients who would like to have teeth whitened and make a donation as part of this campaign in Orange County can call or email Rice Dentistry.
