PROGRAMS
1 Million Brushes
Our mission: give away 1 million free toothbrushes to kids-in-need. Together, we will create a #CavityFreeND.
2 in 3 rural North Dakota kindergarteners have tooth decay.
Tooth decay is the #1 preventable chronic childhood disease. Parents should supervise brushing until at least age 8.
1 MILLION BRUSHES IN 10 YEARS
Every child deserves the tools to care for their smile.
Since 2017, the North Dakota Dental Foundation has distributed nearly 250,000 toothbrushes and thousands of dental kits to save the smiles of children-in-need.
Together we can ensure an entire generation of North Dakota children-in-need have the oral health supplies they need. Together we will create #CavityFreeND by providing 1 million toothbrushes to kids-in-need. Please consider joining the cause!

TAKE ACTION
Join the cause for #CavityFreeND
There are two great ways to help put a toothbrush in the hands of every North Dakota child in need.
Donate
Your gift helps supply childcare centers, schools, and organizations with dental kits — toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and oral health education — so more children can protect their smiles.
Partner
We're always looking for partners — global suppliers reducing costs, local dental businesses running Smile Drives to collect supplies, and nonprofits distributing kits across North Dakota.
