The America’s ToothFairy Grant recipients will reach a combined total of over 30,000 at-risk children with vital oral health services this year.

“The recipients of the NCOHF: America’s ToothFairy are true champions for children’s oral health. We are proud to support them and all of our NCOHF Affiliate partners in their endeavor to eliminate pediatric dental disease in their communities,” said Fern Ingber, NCOHF president and CEO. “We are so grateful for the generosity of our individual and corporate partners that makes these grants possible. With their continued support, the NCOHF Affiliate Network can help protect the smiles of our most vulnerable children.”

National Children’s Oral Health Foundation, known as America’s ToothFairy, 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. Supporting the delivery of oral health education and care beginning at the prenatal level, NCOHF: America’s ToothFairy has reached millions of children through its national non-profit clinical network and volunteer professional and student community service programs.
