(Charlotte, NC – May 23, 2018)
Tooth decay is the most common chronic untreated disease among children
in the U.S., but thanks to a generous product contribution from
Septodont, thousands of children will receive preventive sealants to
protect their smiles from the devastating consequences of tooth decay.
Over $75,000 in Toothfairy™ Pit & Fissure Sealants were donated by
Septodont to America’s ToothFairy: National Children’s Oral Health
Foundation (NCOHF). The product donation was distributed to ten
nonprofit clinics to support preventive services for children in need.
“It is essential that nonprofit clinics have the necessary resources
such as Toothfairy Pit & Fissure Sealant in order to provide
preventive services for underserved youth,” said Paul Mondock, Septodont
President of the Americas and NCOHF Board Member. “By partnering with
America’s ToothFairy to meet this need, Septodont was able to support
programs reaching over 118,000 underserved children across five states.”
“We rely on donations received through our partnership with NCOHF to
provide dental care for children living in economic despair,” commented
Dirk Alvarado of the Sonrisas Dental Health, Inc. in Half Moon Bay, CA, a
donation recipient. “This donation of Toothfairy Pit & Fissure
Sealant from Septodont will help us improve oral health outcomes for
the children we serve.”
“We are very grateful to Septodont for their generosity and continued
support of our mission and our nonprofit clinical partners,” said Jill
Malmgren, NCOHF Executive Director. “We are focused on access to care,
prevention and education. This sealant donation will help our member
clinics provide essential dental care for low-income families and
prevent future oral health issues for many children.”
