Plackers, a provider of consumer oral care products, has partnered with Oral Health America to donate dental flossers that will reach more than 30,000 children in need through the Smiles Across America program.
Smiles Across America is a program created by Oral Health America to improve the oral health of elementary school students who lack access to routine dental care. The program supports oral disease prevention services in school-based or school-linked settings and demonstrates to communities that oral health is integral to overall health.
"Plackers' product and monetary donations allow Oral Health America to support essential community programs that help uninsured and underserved children have access to oral disease prevention services, oral health products, and education," said Beth Truett, Oral Health America's president and CEO. "One of Oral Health America's key messages is how important it is to brush and floss daily for improved oral and systemic health, and this donation not only helps communities and the school oral health programs that serve them but helps to ensure that these programs are sustained for years to come."
Plackers dental flossers will be sent to Oral Health America's Smiles Across America program partners in Minnesota, Chicago, Denver, Maine, Las Vegas, California, West Virginia, New York City, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Dallas, and many other locations via Smiles Across America Product Donation Program distribution channels.
