Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children in Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina and Wayne counties by providing financial assistance for orthodontic and other dental care and by offering oral health education for elementary school students.
Our Orthodontic Care Program provides orthodontic braces for children facing severe orthodontic issues in low-income families, who have been denied coverage by Medicaid. This intervention can have a profound and transformative effect on both the child and their family's lives.
The Dr. Milton Rubin Oral Health Education Program improves third-grade students' oral hygiene with engaging presentations, providing practical knowledge in fun sessions. Each student receives a personal kit including toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, disclosing tablets, a brushing and flossing calendar, a word game sheet, and contact information for the Akron Dental Society to assist parents in finding a dentist.
