UNSPOKEN SMILES is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding access to primary oral health care, particularly in regions with high unmet needs for dental services. The group aims to promote long-term oral health and economic security in communities that are most disadvantaged, addressing the global burden of untreated tooth decay among children. Based in New York City, the organization operates with a small to mid-sized team and maintains a mission to bring essential dental care to all, working through partnerships and educational initiatives. Recent developments include a collaboration with the International Association of Dental Students (IADS), underscoring a strategy that includes alliances with professional networks to advance its health equity goals. The organization has also expanded its governance with notable appointments, such as a board member who previously served in a national health leadership role, and launched educational programs like the Unspoken Smiles Virtual Classroom to connect role models with schools on topics related to oral health and well-being.
