Small Smiles of Greenville Participates in Bright Red Bookshelf Program

Recently, Small Smiles of Greenville, in partnership with Ready 4 Reading and Leadership Greenville, was the recipient of a "Bright Red Bookshelf."

The "Bright Red Bookshelf" program provides gently used books for children and families that visit the center for dental care. Statistics show that in low-income neighborhoods, only one book exists for every 300 children.

“Every day our dental center sees children from low-income and disadvantaged families,” said Dr. Cynthia Baldwin, Lead Dentist at Small Smiles of Greenville. “We work to ensure that Greenville’s children have access to the dental care that they need and are proud to welcome the Bright Red Bookshelf Program into our dental center. Providing access to books through the program will help promote literacy among our patients and in our community.”
