Fresh Habits. Forward Strides.

The Problem

50%

of children in the U.S. experience tooth decay by age 8

Dental cavities are the most prevalent chronic disease of childhood.

Tooth decay is strongly linked to education, access, and socioeconomic status.

This is not a lack of solutions...

It's a lack of access, education, and engagement.

This issue is preventable.

What We Do

MINTSTRIDE is a philanthropy-first dental initiative built to create community, deliver education, and expand access to oral health.

Philanthropy & Access

Distributing dental hygiene kits and supplies directly to underserved communities. We meet people where they are and reduce barriers to oral health.

Education & Engagement

Providing age-appropriate, modern dental education through engaging digital content and community workshops.

Community & Media

Building a platform that connects pre-dental students, dental professionals, and communities through social media and outreach.

Long-Term Sustainability

Creating a sustainable model that grows from campus organization to established dental practices serving communities.

Early Dental Care Changes Everything

Poor oral health in childhood leads to:

  • Pain, infection, missed school days
  • Long-term oral and systemic health issues
  • Lifelong dental costs
  • Decreased confidence and quality of life

Preventive education early can:

  • Improves confidence, nutrition, and quality of life
  • Reduces lifelong dental costs
  • Prevents long-term health complications
  • Creates healthy habits for life

If we change dental habits early, we change health outcomes for life.
