About

Saving Smiles is a nonprofit organization committed to improving oral health outcomes for children in underserved communities. The impact of neglecting the oral health of these children is comprehensive and profound, as poor oral health has been linked to detrimental outcomes in learning, communication, nutrition, and overall quality of life. Our mission is to enrich families with knowledge and resources to maintain good oral health in support of total health and wellbeing and believe that prevention is the key to a healthy future. To achieve this, we aim to standardize preventative dental practices in primary care settings, establish comprehensive healthcare systems and conduct  oralhealth educational workshops designed for various audiences including children, medical professionals, and parents. It is also our goal to change attitudes and behaviors about dentistry by developing innovative strategies to create social change and influence society to engage in home care routines scientifically proven to prevent the tooth decay. Through community outreach, education, and partnerships, we strive to create a world where all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and lead happy, healthy lives.
