In 2001, Jeff along with a committee of dentists from the Greater St. Louis Dental Society, planned and implemented Give Kids A Smile, a program designed to deliver full service dental care to children who do not have access to dentistry. Over 16,000 St. Louis area children have received almost $10 million dollars worth of dental care in the forty-three clinics that have taken place since then. Jeff took the concept of Give Kids A Smile to the American Dental Association and they adopted it as its National Children’s Access Day. Since February 2003, millions of children have been seen in thousands of sites across the country.
