The Tooth Fairy Project exists to empower our community, young and old, with the knowledge and habits that prevent dental disease and support lifelong oral health.

Oral health is not separate from health. Untreated dental disease affects nutrition, speech, sleep, and school performance, and it is strikingly unequal. The people least likely to see a dentist regularly are often the ones who need one most, for reasons that are structural: cost, insurance, transportation, language, and simply never having been taught.

We cannot fix all of that as undergraduates. But what we can do is close the information gap, one classroom and one community room at a time.
