Giving Back

Giving back has been part of A Shop for Smiles for a long time. Over his years leading the practice, Dr. Hagstrom put his time and skills behind local kids, sports teams, and families in need.

Smiles For Life

The Smiles for Life Foundation is the children's charity organization of the Crown Council, an organization of leading dentists throughout North America. In past years the practice took part in its spring whitening campaign, donating 100% of the reduced fee directly to children's charities.

Sponsorships and Team Health

For years the practice was a proud sponsor of local teams and squads, brightening plenty of smiles along the way.

A Shop for Smiles has also been a proud supporter of San Diego State's dance, cheer, and athletics programs.

For many years, Dr. Hagstrom performed oral cancer examinations for the San Diego Padres, counseling major and minor league players about the risks of smokeless tobacco. Plenty of them took his advice and quit.

The Dominican Republic

Dr. Hagstrom also traveled to the Dominican Republic with the Smiles for Hope team, treating up to 150 patients a day in rural areas where many people live on the $1 to $2 a day they earn cutting sugar cane by hand.
