The best way to celebrate National Sweet Tea Day is with a meal, not sipping all day long.

Yes, the sugar contributes to tooth decay, but the acid in sweet tea also weakens your enamel. Swish with water afterwards and wait 30 minutes to brush your teeth to prevent enamel erosion.

Please join us in welcoming Brookings Area United Way in Brookings, South Dakota, as one of the newest members of our Dental Resource Program! 🎉

They recently announced an incredible milestone: 60,000 patients served through their work connecting children and young adults in Brookings County with no-cost dental care through the Delta Dental of South Dakota Mobile Program.

That kind of sustained community impact is exactly why we’re proud to support partners like Brookings Area United Way. Together, we can help more families access the care, education, and resources children need to build healthier smiles.

Welcome to the Dental Resource Program family!

Thank you Crest & Oral-B for making gifts like this possible! 🥰

It warms our hearts to see the difference simple things like a toothbrush and toothpaste can make in the life of a student in need. The items most of us take for granted can be life changing for a child facing homelessness and food insecurity. By partnering with organizations like Norwalk La Mirada Unified School District in Norwalk, California, we make sure the oral care products we receive end up in the hands of families that need them most.

Visit our website to learn more about our mission and how you can help kids grow up with healthy smiles.

A recent JAMA Network Open study of more than 63,000 Medicaid-enrolled children in the Bronx highlighted a troubling paradox in school-based oral health care: children without prior dental visits were less likely to participate in school-based caries prevention programs, even though they may be among the children most likely to benefit.

That finding raises an important question: if school-based dental programs are designed to reach children who face barriers to care, why are some of those children still missing out?

To help answer that question, we turned to the experts who see these barriers every day: safety-net dental clinics and community-based providers in our Dental Resource Program including Ready Set Smile and Apple Tree Dental in Minnesota, and Heartland Community Health Center in Kansas, who provided practical solutions that get a "yes" from parents.

POP QUIZ: What's worse for your smile, gummy bears or raisins?

Find the answer in this great article from Yahoo.

Most people already know that soda and hard candy aren’t great for their teeth. What’s less obvious is that some of the snacks sitting in your pantry right now, the ones that feel totally harmless, are doing quiet, consistent damage every single day. Dentists see the evidence of it in the chair,...

Kids are going back to school with healthier smiles thanks to our friends at Crest and Oral-B!

Pictured here are volunteers from Calvary Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina who have filled backpacks with school supplies and toothbrushes from Oral-B for students in need. Tens of thousands of students will receive similar oral care supplies at back-to-school events across the country thanks to the generosity of Crest and Oral-B. 👏👏

Families that can't afford school supplies are also likely to lack oral care products at home. How can you help? Hold a Smile Drive to collect dental hygiene products like toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. Then donate them to a local organization that serves families in crisis such as homeless shelters, food banks and Title 1 schools.
