Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For All™

Tags: , , ,

According to the U.S. Surgeon General, 120 million Americans lack dental care.

I believe this statistic because I have been one of those people in the past! I’m sure everyone has gone through a period when they lacked dental insurance and therefore just didn’t make it to the dentist once every six months!

One of my favorite companies is stepping up to help. The Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For All™ program supports community organizations that provide dental care to people who would otherwise go without.

“It’s hard for a parent to imagine not being able to take their child for a routine dental check-up, but for the nearly half of American families without dental insurance or access to dental care this is an unfortunate reality,” says Kerry Maguire, D.D.S., M.S.P.H. and Tom’s Director of Professional of Advocacy. “It may seem like an overwhelming problem but Tom’s of Maine truly believes we can work together to make a difference, one small step at a time.”

When you purchase Tom’s of Maine products, you help to fund community-based clinics striving to fill the gaps in dental coverage and access.

So far, in four years of Dental Health for All, Tom’s of Maine has given grants to 25 school and community-based dental clinics, accommodated 60,000 annual patient visits, and donated over 238,000 tubes of free toothpaste to under served adults and children!

Tom’s of Maine has a passion for responsible and sustainable business. Tom’s of Maine donates 10% of profits to charities, uses wind energy, and eco-friendly packaging and ingredients.

So, if you have ever been curious about natural oral care products, now is a great time to try them and help an important cause at the same time.

To help, please purchase Tom’s products at www.amazon.com, or your local retailer (I use Tom’s of Maine toothpaste that I buy from CVS pharmacy)!

You can visit Toms Of Maine’s website to take a free oral health quiz or get a free printable dental health coloring book for your child.

For your chance to win a Tom’s of Maine gift pack of dental care essentials (cinnamon toothpaste, tartar control mouthwash, and floss), comment on this post with your thoughts on Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For All!

One winner will be selected at random.
This giveaway is open to US residents.
This contest will close on January 28, 12 midnight CST.

*Congrats to Stacey!*

    Wow! thanks Tom’s is all we use! I love the apricot deodorant & their non-floride toothpaste. I think the dental health for all program is great to bring awareness to the huge problem we have with it in this country. And we really do.

    What a great concept. I just got a letter from our insurance company informing me that our premium is increasing by about $70/month soon. Nice. I don’t see how people can afford to give their families the appropriate coverage and it is nice to see businesses realizing that and trying to fill in the gaps.

    Health/Dental care is so expensive today so it’s nice to see Tom’s of Maine helping out!

    That is a great company. My family does not have dental insurance and hasn’t for several years now. I’m excited to hear that there is a company out there that is trying to make a difference for families like mine. Thank you for sharing!

    As one who does not have dental insurance, and hasn’t for about 20 of her 26 years, I think it is GREAT that Tom’s is doing this! I’m blessed to have never had a cavity, or had to have braces, but the dental work I have had done (wisdom teeth out, for one) has been expensive–just simple bite-wing x-rays are ridiculously expensive!

    I’ve become a big fan of Tom’s dental floss. It’s perfect for getting out the gunk between the teeth. Tom’s of Maine RULES!

    We LOVE Tom’s around here, and although I can’t say that it’s all we use, I do buy it when it’s on sale. I love the ginger toothpaste, which is an unusual flavor. I love Tom’s of Maine’s eco-friendly and healthy philosophies.

    I think that it is a wonderful idea. Our family doesn’t have dental insurance, so we have to save up for such things as cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and in my case, crowns. It would be nice if major insurance companies would cover those procedures in their plans.

    I think this is a great idea. I work in a low SES area and may of the students in my classroom do not have dental insurance nor the proper tools to brush at home. So understand the importance of getting not just the adults but the kids to bursh and take care of their teeth.

    I really like the fact they are committed to funding charities. We hear so much about the Lack of Healthcare it seems that Dental Health doesnt get in the Limelight of concern. I believe that *Dental* should be apart of Healthcare and insured just like healthcare.

    We know that your teeth can really cause health problems.

    We love Tom’s clove/cinnamon toothpaste but can only occasionally find anywhere that sells Toms & if they do it is rare to get more than one flavor & it is usually not the one we like best. We buy whatever kind we find though. Haven’t found any lately.

    I am so impressed with Tom’s of Maine’s commitment to insuring that everyone has a chance to receive oral care. The fact that Tom’s of Maine given grants to 25 school and community-based dental clinics, accommodated 60,000 annual patient visits, and donated over 238,000 tubes of free toothpaste to under served adults and children is so commendable to me! It makes me see the company is such a positive light! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.

    I think “Dental Health for All” should be a given, not a luxury, and Tom’s is making a great start. Of course, adults need dental care, too, and my fondest wish is that we as a society soon will extend health care of ALL kinds to every one of us, not just the wealthiest, the poorest, and those lucky enough to have a paternalistic employer. Kudos to Tom’s for helping to focus on this critical issue.

    I think Tom’s of Maine Dental Health For All is a great program especially since these days many people do not have Dental Insurance. No one should have to worry about not being able to go to the dentist if they really need to. Oral Care is very important. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win since I have been wanting to try out Tom’s of Maine toothpaste for the longest time now. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Tom’s is a model corporate citizen and I have been using their toothpaste for over a decade now; it’s a sad commentary that our state & local governments do not fund adequate dental care for the most needy of it’s citizens…some do, most don’t.
