America’s Toothfairy®
…because every child deserves a healthy smile.
National Children’s Oral Health Foundation is America’s Toothfairy
The Toothfairy has evolved from a small mythical character to a Superhero! She is an EDUCATOR about the oral health crisis in America, a PREVENTER of pediatric dental disease and a PROTECTOR of our most vulnerable children.
America’s Toothfairy unites dental professionals, industry leaders, philanthropic individuals and concerned non-profit agencies to break the cycle of preventable pediatric dental disease for future generations.
America’s Toothfairy is the only independent non-profit national children’s health organization exclusively focused on supporting delivery of comprehensive oral healthcare for children from vulnerable populations.

America’s Toothfairy has built a growing Affiliate network of not-for-profit dental centers, university dental schools, community clinics and volunteer dental professionals across the country who provide comprehensive oral healthcare to underserved children. Affiliates benefit from national resources and donation opportunities offered by America’s Toothfairy as well as sharing best practices and experiences among a national community of nonprofit facilities with a common goal to ensure all children have the building blocks for healthy, happy and productive futures!
Since 2006 America’s Toothfairy has distributed over $6 million in direct funding, donated dental products and technical resources to the Affiliate network to expand and enhance critical oral health services provided in their local communities.

- Treat 5 million+ children most in need through more than 500 centers throughout the US and begin providing global support to developing nations.
- Educate and screen 20 million+ children through schools, community events, ongoing community based prevention activities.
America’s Toothfairy is steered by a prestigious Board of Directors and guided by an accomplished Scientific Advisory Board.
