Every child deserves a healthy smile.

Our Mission & Vision

Millions of children are without access to dental services and face ongoing health consequences as a result, including untreated tooth decay and other, more intensive dental needs. As a resource provider, America’s ToothFairy increases access to oral health care by supporting nonprofit clinics and community partners delivering education, prevention and treatment services for underserved children.

We work to ensure all children can access dental care and learn about oral health.

History

In 2000, the Surgeon General issued a national call to action to address the “silent epidemic” of dental disease. Today, pediatric dental disease (severe tooth decay) remains the most prevalent chronic disease affecting children in America.

America's ToothFairy: National Children's Oral Health Foundation (NCOHF) was founded in 2006 as a collaborative effort of clinicians, academicians, corporate leaders and caring individuals to address the children’s oral health crisis.

Today, America’s ToothFairy continues its commitment to improving children’s oral health outcomes by serving as a resource provider to individuals and organizations facilitating oral health prevention and education services, as well as those providing dental treatment, especially to children in underserved populations.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have provided more than $25.9 million in donated dental products and equipment, educational materials, financial grants and programming to nonprofit dental clinics and community partners. Over 8.9 million children have received oral health care and education from clinics relying on our support. Since 2014, more than 2.4 million oral care products have been distributed to families in need thanks to our corporate partners and volunteers participating in our Smile Drive campaign.
