Why focus on dental care?
​

Around ~23% of the U.S. population did not have dental insurance in 2016. [1]
​

That's around 74 million people!
​Almost the population of two Californias

Millions of people are forced to forgo dental care every year, with 31.6% of people aged 20 and above living with untreated dental issues [2]

​​Overtime, as more dental health complications arise, the costs start to add up.

People without access to dental care tend to have higher rates of other illnesses, too [1]
​

​67%
more likely to have heart disease

50%
more likely to have osteoporosis

29%
more likely to have diabetes

The lack of dental benefits available to low-income adults in the United States has been referred to as a “neglected epidemic”  [3]

For many people in low-income communities, free or low-cost clinics are the only way to obtain dental care

Our goals

​facilitate the operations of free and low-cost clinics by hosting fundraisers for PPE and other essentials

create accessible educational content about dental health and other related topics​
