CHARLOTTE, N.C.—This February, National Children’s Dental Health Month, America’s ToothFairy: National Children’s Oral Health Foundation will mobilize thousands of volunteers across the country for its second annual America’s ToothFairy Smile Drive—a national campaign to raise oral health awareness and collect toothbrushes and toothpaste for at-risk children.
 
Girl and Boy Scouts, high school, college and professional students, dental professionals, businesses and other volunteer groups will collect and donate toothbrushes, toothpaste and other oral care items for at-risk children in their community.

Dental practices and companies serving as collection sites will receive recognition in the National Smile Drive Directory and all registered volunteers will receive a promotional toolkit for hosting a successful drive. Donated toothbrushes and toothpaste collected through the Smile Drive will be distributed to local shelters, Boys and Girls Clubs, America’s ToothFairy Affiliate clinical partners and other non-profit organizations caring for underserved children and their families.

“We are very grateful that Walmart and Align Technology, both proud Underwriters of America’s ToothFairy, are helping to ensure children across the nation benefit from our National Children’s Dental Health Month campaign,” said Fern Ingber, America’s ToothFairy President and CEO. “Their participation in the America’s ToothFairy Smile Drive combined with the efforts of dental practices, companies, students, and volunteers will provide at-risk children the tools they need to prevent the pain and embarrassment associated with tooth decay.”
