Tooth decay and cavities are the number one chronic health condition worldwide – and is largely in part to the nearly 60 million individuals who lack access to proper oral care, and if untreated, can lead to new conditions like heart disease and diabetes. To combat this, Crest and Oral-B are doubling down on their Closing America’s Smile Gap campaign, donating 500,000 oral hygiene products to underserved children ahead of National Brush Day on November 1. Throughout the month, the brands have worked alongside elementary schools to teach young children about proper oral care. Rounding out the campaign, the brands are partnering with dental schools to offer scholarships to hygienists and dentists to open offices and provide services in “dental deserts” – locations without dental services nearby. This objective works to close the smile gap, ensuring that all children are entitled to healthy, shining smiles.
