Walmart and Colgate To Kick Off Campaign

To celebrate the kick-off of “Building Smiles Together”, all-star, third baseman Adrian Beltre will join youngsters at the Walmart Supercenter in Grand Prairie, TX from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on June 27 to learn about healthy habits in an effort to “strike out cavities.”

Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures mobile dental vans, staffed by Dallas-based volunteer dentists, will also be on-site to provide free dental screenings, oral health education, treatment referrals and a “Building Smiles Together” kit that includes educational materials and a free toothbrush and toothpaste for children ages 1-12.

“Growing up, my parents made sure to teach me the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums and I do the same with my children,” said Beltre. “I am happy to be a part of Walmart and Colgate’s ‘Building Smiles Together’ initiative since it gives me the opportunity to help improve the oral health of Dallas-area children, educate about healthy oral care habits and encourage them to strike out cavities for a lifetime of healthy smiles.”
