CAD, Marian Rivera, and Smile Train Unite for CADSMILE initiative

A meaningful collaboration took center stage on April 15, 2026, as the Center for Advanced Dentistry (CAD), Marian Rivera, and Smile Train officially launched CADSMILE (Specialized, Mindful, Inclusive, Life-Enhancing Care)—an initiative designed to provide children with access to quality dental care.

The program, held at CAD Greenhills, offers free consultations, cleaning, and restorative treatments, addressing both immediate needs and long-term oral health awareness.

“For us at CAD, initiatives like CADSMILE allow us to extend our reach and deepen our impact,” said Dr. Nelda Valencia-Eufemio. “When we collaborate with advocates who share our vision, we are able to serve more communities in a meaningful way.”

Through the combined efforts of healthcare professionals and public figures, CADSMILE highlights the power of collaboration in addressing critical health issues. Marian Rivera’s involvement brings added awareness, while Smile Train’s advocacy strengthens the initiative’s mission.

“It’s very heartwarming to see them become more confident. They’re no longer timid, and they’re beginning to express themselves and play together. What matters most is that we give them courage. Oral hygiene should always be a priority, but sometimes it gets overlooked. That’s why we continue to raise awareness and bring the focus back to its importance,” says Marian Rivera.

As the program continues, CAD envisions expanding its partnerships and further strengthening its role in community healthcare.
