Solventum Donation Increases Access to Care

In America today, millions of children live without access to regular dental care. Without healthy smiles, they struggle to eat, sleep, and concentrate in school—facing a future filled with pain, poor health, and limited opportunity.

At America’s ToothFairy, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. That’s why our Dental Resource Program (DRP) supports nonprofit dental clinics with essential tools to improve access to care, prevent disease, and build healthy habits that last a lifetime.

This spring, Solventum demonstrated their shared commitment to children’s health by donating more than $56,000 worth of dental supplies to support the mission of our DRP member clinics.

Their generous gift included Dual Arch Impression Trays, valued at $38,785, which were distributed to KinderSmile Foundation in New Jersey and Sonrisas Dental Health in California. These high-quality trays enable clinicians to make precise impressions in a single step, saving valuable time and increasing the number of patients who can be seen—especially critical in high-demand nonprofit settings.

Solventum also donated Imprint II Quick Step Ortho V-Trim bamboo toothbrushes, valued at $18,128, to seven organizations throughout Minnesota: Community Dental Care, Just Kids Dental, Let’s Smile, Inc., C.A.R.E. Clinic, Children’s Dental Services, Minnesota State University-Mankato, and Apple Tree Dental. These sustainable toothbrushes are more than just a hygiene tool—they’re a take-home reminder of the healthy habits children are learning in schools and clinics, and a simple way to empower kids to care for their own smiles.

Making a Meaningful Difference

For the clinics that received these supplies, the impact was immediate.

“Continued support from America’s ToothFairy has enabled us to continue our mission and provide oral health education, preventive care, and comprehensive care to nearly 7,000 children this past year... Your support enabled us to create a legacy and a long-term impact for families, now and for the future.”
—Dr. Michal Herman, KinderSmile Foundation (NJ)

“Product donations from America’s ToothFairy have a direct and meaningful impact on our mission... Your support allows us to send each child home with the tools they need to build healthy habits—reinforcing what they learn during their preventive visits at school or in our dental clinic.”
—Holly Jorgensen, Let’s Smile, Inc. (MN)

“Product donations allow our dental clinic to provide free dental services for children who otherwise might not be able to afford care. It allows us to go into the elementary schools in the area to provide oral hygiene instructions and products.”
—Bridgette Cooper, Minnesota State University (MN)
