Mission Statement

We are dedicated to improving oral health outcomes for children in underserved communities.

Description

The oral health of children is crucial for their overall well-being. Tooth decay, the most common chronic disease in children in the US, not only affects their oral health but also increases the risk of systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes. This can impact a child's concentration, school attendance, and even their confidence and social skills due to visible dental decay, ultimately influencing their potential for future success. Saving Smiles steps into this breach with programs designed to engage with communities, increase access to preventative care, and educate families about the importance of oral
hygiene.

One of our primary goals is to collaborate with influencers and celebrities to advocate for our cause through commercials, public service
announcements, and social media campaigns to improve oral health awareness, attitudes and behaviors of their followers. We will also negotiate headlining a yearly benefit concert, slated for the end of summer, providing significant public exposure and engagement.

We believe this is the best way to reach the younger generation and are looking for someone who can relate and help create content that will engage this younger demographic.
