The American Dental Association (ADA) Foundation launched the GKAS program nationally in 2003 as a way for dentists to join with others in the community to provide dental services to underserved children. The New Jersey Dental Association, the state’s largest organized dental association, manages GKAS day. Last year, more than 3,000 New Jersey children were seen and treated during GKAS programs in a single day.
