Healthy Mouth Movement

Bringing better health care to more people means removing barriers to care. At home and abroad, Aspen Dental’s Healthy Mouth Movement is how we make a difference.

Day of ServiceEvery year since 2014, hundreds of Aspen Dental practices across the country open their doors to provide dental care at no cost to U.S. veterans.

Our mission 

Whether it’s cost, access, or education, Aspen Dental is committed to eliminating the barriers preventing millions of Americans from getting the oral health care they need.   We’re proud to open our doors each year to expand access to care and positively impact our communities through service.

Why we started

Millions of Americans have little to no access to dental care due to barriers like cost, lack of insurance, fear, and more. We started the Healthy Mouth Movement to unite our efforts in breaking down these barriers through programs like Day of Service, Overseas Outreach, Smile for Your Service and the TAG Oral Care Center for Excellence.
