Access to Care:
product donations help more kids receive dental services
Our Dental Resource Program (DRP) members provide preventive and restorative dental care to hundreds of thousands of kids each year, usually for free or at a reduced cost.
Since 2006 our generous corporate partners have donated more than
$17 million in dental supplies and equipment
to help these safety-net dental care providers stretch their budgets and expand access to care to impact more children.
product donation highlights
Despite inflation and supply chain issues, our generous corporate partners stepped up to help our members serve an ever-growing number of families.
The staff at Smiles for a Lifetime in rural Fairfax, South Carolina (left) were definitely feeling the pinch of inflation this year.
"As a non-profit, we have to watch money closely," their Operations Director, Georgia Famuliner told us. "Masks and toothpaste purchasing was limited at times."
But thanks to generous product donations from Patterson Dental and 3M Oral Care, this safety-net clinic found more wiggle room in their budget to help them provide care to 72% more kids than they did the year before.
"We as an organization are profoundly grateful for your gifts and contributions," Georgia added. "We rely heavily on your support."
In FY2022, our generous product donors included:
- 3M Oral Care
- Align Technology
- Crest
- Hu-Friedy Group
- Oral-B
- Patterson Dental
- Shofu
- SmileMakers
- Tokuyama
This year, we launched a new website page to make donating products easier than ever! Discover how you can support the warehousing and delivery of products at AmericasToothFairy.org/donate-a-product.
