CHICAGO, Ill., USA: Now through Dec. 31, Ivoclar Vivadent will match every dollar donated to Oral Health America (OHA), up to a maximum of $50,000. Money raised will be used to support OHA’s Wisdom Tooth Project, a comprehensive oral healthcare program designed to increase access to care, education and advocacy for older adults.

The Wisdom Tooth Project also empowers older adults and caregivers to research oral health information and local resources online at toothwisdom.org and to learn firsthand about self-care during in-person Tooth Wisdom: Get Smart About Your Mouth workshops.

Thanks to the generosity of Ivoclar Vivadent, those looking to support these types of innovative programs can double the impact of their donation during the matching gift period, OHA says.

“Ivoclar Vivadent is committed to supporting the Wisdom Tooth Project and needs of older Americans and their caregivers,” said Dr. George Tysowsky, vice president of technology at Ivoclar Vivadent. “I’m challenging my fellow dental professionals to get involved and take advantage of our matching gift opportunity.”

Those interested in making a gift to OHA can do so online at www.oralhealthamerica.org/donate or by calling Brad McLaughlin, director of development, at (312) 836-9900.
