Millions of kids across the U.S. lack access to dental care. Together, we can increase access to routine dental care and and oral health education!

February is National Children's Dental Health Month, the perfect time to engage with the mission of America's ToothFairy to increase access to dental care and preventive services in under resourced communities nationwide. Here's how:

2. Support urgent care for youth.

Your donation provides grants for patients who have insufficient dental coverage for services that cost more than their families can afford. Give to In the Gap for children or Tomorrow's Smiles for teens.
