Making a Difference Around the World
Today, oral diseases affect 3.5 billion people worldwide and it is estimated that 2.3 billion people suffer from tooth decay.
Globally, untreated tooth decay in permanent teeth is the most common health condition. Unfortunately, most low-and-middle income countries are unable to provide services to prevent and treat oral health conditions. Most oral health conditions are largely preventable and can be treated in their early stages if care is accessible.
The Oral Health Foundation of the Pierre Fauchard Academy was created to provide monetary grants to support those less fortunate. Since 1995, the Foundation has supported over 675 grants totaling $4,600,000 around the world. The need is great! Together, through the financial support of the Foundation and the dedication of dental professionals, we have and shall continue to enhance the quality of oral healthcare around the world.
Grant applications are accepted between March 1 - June 1.
