CHICAGO, IL, USA: It’s become an annual tradition here at the Midwinter Meeting: the gala celebration for National Children’s Oral Health Foundation: America’s ToothFairy (NCOHF) — an organization dedicated to fighting pediatric dental disease. This year’s gathering, “Celebration of Smiles,” held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, was extra special, thanks to the participation of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, which will release “Tooth Fairy 2” on Blu-ray and DVD on March 6.

The movie stars Larry the Cable Guy and Brady Reiter, who charmed attendees at the gala celebration with her presence.

The duo recently created a public service announcement video, which teaches children the importance of good oral health care.

Said Fern Ingber, NCOHF president and CEO: “We are thrilled to partner with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Tooth Fairy 2 stars Larry and Brady to promote children’s oral health. How wonderful to have Brady at the Celebration of Smiles to launch the America’s ToothFairy Kids Club, which will provide fun, quarterly activities and Tips from the ToothFairy to encourage positive oral health behaviors.”

NCOHF was formed in 2006 in an aggressive response to eliminate pediatric dental disease by providing community programs with the comprehensive resources to deliver vital educational, preventive and treatment services to children of the most vulnerable populations.

To date, NCOHF has delivered nearly $10 million in direct funding, donated dental products and educational resources to its non-profit Affiliate network and community programs throughout North America, reaching millions of children with oral health services.
