SMILES ACROSS AMERICA® PRODUCT DONATION PARTNERS Rural Communities
SAA Product Donation Project Strengthens Community Capacity
Without this generous donation it would not have been possible to place sealants on as many Maine children as we did. This program allowed us to not only place sealants, but to educate children about their oral health” Sabrina Toye, RDH & President of Tooth Protectors
Urban Communities “We operate on a very limited budget and your donation enables us to use the money saved on sealant material and fluoride to hire additional staff to service more children.” Diane Armstrong, San Diego Children’s Dental Health School Based Program
Small City/Suburban Our services are the only dentistry that 78% of our children receive. This year, we did not receive any additional grant monies to buy supplies. Without SAA’s gracious support we wouldn’t be able to reach and treat as many children as we do” Jill Barber, Program Coordinator, Athens County, Ohio
