— OUR MISSION

Access to a healthy smile should never be determined by income, geography, or language barriers.

That belief drives everything we do. Through preventative education for the communities we serve, hygiene product distribution, and mentorship for aspiring healthcare leaders, we strive to make quality oral health care accessible to all.

BY THE NUMBERS

The oral health gap is closeable.

Founded in 2022 in San Francisco by students who witnessed the barriers to dental care firsthand, Project Smile Global has grown into a global movement of young leaders working to make oral healthcare more accessible and inclusive for underserved communities.
