Project Healthy Smile’s inspiration comes from the tremendous need for dental health education in many countries worldwide. While traveling through some of the most impoverished regions of the world we visited many orphanages and children’s organizations. We found that basic dental needs are not being met. Generally, this stems from poverty and lack in dental health education. We were saddened to learn some children were sharing toothbrushes and many children did not even know what a toothbrush or toothpaste were. These are basic necessities that every child deserves. The birth of Project Healthy Smile began with our first mission in Vietnam. We personally donated floss, toothbrushes, toothpaste and tongue scrapers to the children of Agape Children’s Home. In addition, we provided a lesson on proper dental care and oral health. We also explained the importance of compliance to the children’s caregivers who were thankful and supportive. We saw that even with limited resources we were able to make an enormous and positive impact on these beautiful children. We are blessed to have such an eager an experienced Board of Directors. We are also grateful for the support of family and friends. “We are excited to begin this amazing journey. Project Healthy Smile will protect and preserve the smiles of our future.”
