Dentistry.One, a virtual-first dental care platform, has announced a partnership with America’s ToothFairy, a nonprofit organization focused on improving access to dental care and oral health resources for children. The collaboration is intended to support early identification of oral health concerns and facilitate connections to appropriate dental care, particularly for families facing access barriers.
As part of the partnership, families will have access to Dentistry.One’s SmileScan™, an AI-supported oral health screening tool that analyzes photographs of the teeth and gingiva. The tool generates a brief report highlighting potential areas of concern, including common findings such as tartar accumulation, gingival inflammation, and gingival recession.
America’s ToothFairy collaborates with nonprofit and safety-net dental clinics, as well as community organizations across the United States, to connect children with dental services. Its programs emphasize access, prevention, and education, and include financial support, oral hygiene products, equipment, and no-cost educational resources for Dental Resource Program member clinics and other community-based programs serving children.
“For many families, accessing dental care isn’t always easy,” said Brant Herman, Founder and CEO of Dentistry.One and MouthWatch. “Provider availability, differences in Medicaid participation, cost pressures, and transportation challenges can all play a role. SmileScan helps flag potential issues early and gives families a clear next step—whether that's connecting with a dentist online or getting help finding and booking care nearby—so kids can get the right care sooner, when it can make the biggest difference.”
When virtual evaluation or guidance is appropriate, families can connect with a Dentistry.One dentist. If in-person treatment is needed, care coordinators assist with identifying and scheduling appointments with nearby, in-network dental providers.
“This partnership helps families move from concern to care with less delay,” said Jill Malmgren, executive director at America’s ToothFairy. “By sharing SmileScan and Dentistry.One's virtual services, we are giving families, especially those facing barriers to care, easier access and a faster path to preventive and restorative dental care for their children.”
