“Throughout a person’s life,
the relationship between oral
health, overall health and
well-being is based on prevention.”
OUR MISSION: Helping dentists help patients.
OUR VISION: A better quality of life for North Carolinians through improved oral health.
WHO WE HELP
We help North Carolinians in need – including children, veterans and adults. Some have never been to a dentist. From prevention and education to treatment, the Foundation focuses on individuals in dire need. More than 35% of children enter kindergarten with some tooth decay, and 21% of seniors statewide have lost all their teeth. We put smiles back on the faces of our neighbors.
HOW YOU CAN MAKE
A DIFFERENCE
Throughout the state, gifts to the Foundation from individuals, corporations, agencies and communities are transforming lives. People once reluctant to smile or talk because they were embarrassed about their teeth are now smiling again. Kids who couldn’t focus in school due to pain are healthier and learning.
Spotlight On A Super Student
Nihar Thakkar
“The North Carolina Dental Society Foundation holds a special place in my heart, not only because it helped foster my aspirations in dentistry, but also because of how strongly rooted the mission of improving oral health is within the Foundation.
I have witnessed first-hand the impact that the Foundation has on the community and hope to continue giving back in the future.”
Nihar is a high school senior at Green Hope High School who has recently been accepted into the University of Pennsylvania’s 7 year dental program for the Fall of 2021.
He has volunteered with the NCDS Foundation for 3 summers, raising over 135 lbs of oral health essentials and $1,000 in grant funding to support oral health for North Carolina Troops.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and congratulations on your acceptance into the UPenn dental program. We know you will go far!
Better oral health begins with a strong Foundation.
