My Project

Making a difference in the oral health of a person can bring positive results and invaluable rewards. Dental hygiene is so very important, yet dental hygiene resources are sometimes lacking for our students. We floss and brush our teeth after breakfast and after lunch to develop a consistent routine.

Gifting the students flossers and toothpaste will leave a lifelong impression of the importance of dental hygiene.

Hygiene is such an important matter and it can be a source of embarrassment for students whose families struggle to cover the cost of necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and floss. Help me remove barriers for students so they can unlock all their educational potential!
