What do you think of when you hear “dentist?” Most people think of scary tools and pain. You see, visiting the dentist is something most dread and avoid. This has a cascading effect: did you know that 25% of seniors have lost all of their teeth? And ~16 million kids didn’t see a dentist last year? The root of the problem comes from poor early education about oral hygiene. Our mission is to raise awareness about the importance of oral health, good diet, and cavity prevention from a young age. Using this platform, we make oral hygiene fun through interesting interviews with dentists (they’re not that scary!). We also curate fun educational tips to educate the public about oral hygiene, diet, and oral cancer screening. Moreover, we collect oral care kits from local dental offices and vendors to provide free dental care kits to kids in underserved communities.
