Every child deserves the chance to chase their dreams.
It all begins with a healthy smile.
Almost half of second-graders in the US are affected by tooth decay(1) and over 51 million school hours are lost due to dental related issues(2). That’s why Trident® gum has partnered with Smiles Across America® to help underserved kids get the care they need and educate families on daily oral hygiene.
With the support of Trident®, Smiles Across America® is able to further link schools and dental care providers to help educate, treat and reinforce proper oral care.
