Action for Dental Health

Action for Dental Health is the ADA’s nationwide, community-based movement to end the oral health crisis in America by bridging the dental divide through focusing on three main objectives:

1. Providing care now for people suffering from untreated disease
2. Strengthening and expanding the public and private safety net
3. Preventing dental disease through advocacy and education

These objectives are supported by seven potential solutions, including the Mission of Mercy and Give Kids a Smile programs.
