About The Golden Tooth Foundation

A Smile Is More Than Just Dental Care. It’s Dignity, Confidence, and Health.

We founded The Golden Tooth Foundation with a simple belief:
Those who’ve given their lives to family, community, and hard work shouldn’t have to struggle for access to dental care in their later years.

But every day, seniors across the country are putting off critical treatment—or traveling abroad for risky, low-cost options—because they can’t afford the care they need here at home.

We're here to change that.

Our Mission

To remove financial barriers to essential dental treatment for people 55 and older by connecting generous donors, compassionate dentists, and those in need—locally, affordably, and with dignity.

We help patients receive care from the dentist they trust, not one chosen by cost or circumstance.

Our Approach Is Simple

We work through the professionals our patients already trust—their own dentists.

Patients bring our program to their dentist. Dentists enroll. We review their aid request, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we provide funding to cover eligible treatment.

Here’s how it works.

The Golden Tooth Foundation is designed to make giving—and receiving—dental care simple and personal.

  1. The Patient
    An individual aged 55 or older learns about our program and brings the information to their dentist.

  2. The Dentist
    The dentist enrolls with us (if they haven’t already) and submits a request for aid on the patient’s behalf.

  3. The Foundation
    We review the request and, if approved, provide financial assistance to cover eligible treatment.

  4. The Donor
    Thanks to generous donations from individuals and partner organizations, the patient receives the care they need—without the financial burden.
