Trident Gum & Smiles Across America

Did you know that dental related issues cause more than 51 million lost school hours in the U.S. each year?

Smiles Across America (SAA) aims to reach children annually in school-based or school-linked settings with oral disease prevention and oral health promotion services such as dental sealants, fluoride varnish treatments and family education. SAA is affording care for children who do not have regular dental visits due to lack of resources, insurance, transportation, or because of low literacy or language barriers. The program works with community leaders, elected officials and the media to make the case that healthy mouths are critical to overall health.

Smiles Across America and Trident know that dental disease can be prevented with proper treatment and instruction. That is why they have teamed up to give over 250,000 underprivileged kids dental care each year. They want to help keep kids' smiles healthy and bright.
