Helping Vets Get Their Smile Back
For homeless veterans, a new smile can be life-changing. Not only does it restore their dental health, but it also instills a sense of hope and confidence. This pivotal change can be the first step towards a fresh start and a new chapter in their lives. By transforming smiles, we aim to give back to those who have given our country so much.
San Diego has the second-highest number of homeless veterans in the U.S.
Nearly 80% of homeless vets suffer from oral health issues.
Over 60% of homeless vets haven’t had dental care in the last five years.
