Dentsply Sirona, a global leader in professional dental products and technologies, reaffirms its dedication to promoting children’s oral health by extending its partnership with TeamSmile.
With a donation of US$135,000 and employee volunteers, the company aims to provide underserved children with essential screenings, treatments, and oral health education resources.
Andrea Frohning, Chief Human Resources Officer at Dentsply Sirona, emphasizes the significance of this collaboration: “Being instrumental in increasing access to dental care and enabling much-needed treatments for children in need is what has drawn us to this partnership.”
Empowering Through Sports Partnerships
TeamSmile, a non-profit organization focused on providing oral health care to underserved children, leverages partnerships with professional sports teams to engage and motivate children.
Popular athletes use their influence to encourage children to prioritize oral health and seek necessary treatments. This unique approach helps bridge gaps in access to oral health services, particularly in communities facing economic hardship.
Dentsply Sirona’s commitment extends to supporting two TeamSmile programs in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the company is headquartered. Serving as a GOLD Partner, Dentsply Sirona contributes to free dental clinics held at Bank of America Stadium, where children not only receive vital dental care but also interact with football players from the Carolina Panthers, fostering a positive association with oral health.
Transforming Lives Through Dental Care
John McCarthy, Executive Director for TeamSmile, expresses gratitude for Dentsply Sirona’s ongoing support, highlighting the profound impact of their partnership: “Without partners like Dentsply Sirona, we could not offer such a broad range of dental care to children in need.”
TeamSmile’s efforts have already made a tangible difference, providing thousands of children with oral health education and services valued at over 1.6 million USD in 2022 alone.
The collaboration between Dentsply Sirona and TeamSmile exemplifies a shared commitment to improving children’s oral health and well-being. By combining resources, expertise, and passion, both organizations work towards the common goal of ensuring that every child has access to quality dental care, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
