Promoting Good Oral Health for Every Community

What We Do

At the Delta Dental Foundation (DDF), we know that oral and overall health are intrinsically linked. But for many people, the tools and education that can help keep their mouths healthy are often out of reach. Today, three out of four Americans report experiencing barriers to accessing dental care.

We envision a world where everyone has access to high-quality dental care that meets their comfort level and abilities across the lifespan. That’s why the DDF is dedicated to developing and enhancing partnerships and programs to improve health equity in oral and overall health.

But we don’t just fund great projects—we also take action on our own to ensure the work that’s necessary gets done. After all, everyone deserves a healthy smile.

The DDF is a nonprofit, charitable organization established in 1980, which serves as the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina.
