Exceptional kids need exceptional care
More than 12.5 million children in the U.S. have special healthcare needs and face additional challenges in maintaining oral health and accessing care. In fact, dental care is the #1 unmet healthcare need for people with disabilities.
America's ToothFairy is working to increase access to care for children and young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities.
