Smiles for Everyone Foundation

Make Your Gift to Help Deliver Smiles for Everyone

3.5 Billion People Living With Oral Disease Worldwide Serving Africa · Southeast Asia · Latin America
$5 Provides care for one patient
$50 / month Cares for 120 patients a year

Today, more than 3.5 billion people are living with oral disease — making it one of the greatest and most overlooked health challenges in the world.

  • Across parts of Africa, there may be only one dentist for every 100,000 people — or fewer in remote rural regions.
  • Throughout Southeast Asia, millions in isolated communities have little or no reliable access to dental care.
  • Across Latin America, entire communities live without affordable dental services, forcing families to endure pain that could have been prevented or treated.

Lives are diminished by a lack of dental care – something most of us take for granted.

Smiles for Everyone Foundation has taken action. We've built a sustainable model of dental care in some of the neediest countries on these continents.

We're Already There. We Just Need to Reach Further.

Smiles for Everyone has a global network of Outposts — across Africa, Latin America, and Asia — bringing dental care to those who can least afford it and have little or no access to it. Local volunteers – dentists and support teams – travel to remote parts of their countries to treat those in need.

With your help, we can grow the reach and impact of every SFEF Outpost.

Every $5 you give provides care for one patient.

That's a complete dental treatment — from exam to relief from pain — delivered by a volunteer dentist to someone who would otherwise go without. Your gift makes it possible.
