HUMANITARIAN
From Tragedy To Global Activism.
My life was transformed when I traveled to my homeland of Haiti following the tragic 2010 earthquake. While there, I was inspired by the unwavering smiles of young children as they played amid the rubble and devastation around them. Many of them were suffering from severe tooth decay. Looking at these children, I resolved to preserve the quality and health of their smiles and those of disadvantaged children around the world–and that’s how Unspoken Smiles was born.
Every donation, small or large, goes a long way towards supporting my bold vision to bring oral care to everyone, everyday, and everywhere.
Why Oral Health?
Roughly 3.58 billion people worldwide suffer from oral disease. Of that number, 350 million children have tooth decay.
It's on all of US to have a shared sense of moral duty to make ACCESS to primary oral care a priority.
