Healthy Mouth Movement

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

10 years of Healthy Mouth Movement

This year marks 10 years of Aspen Dental’s Healthy Mouth Movement, dedicated to providing free dental care to underserved communities and veterans.

Many veterans face barriers to quality dental care, and through the A Decade of Smiles initiative, we’re closing that gap—honoring their service with the care they deserve.

As we celebrate this milestone, reflected in this video, we’re reimagining our commitment to expand in 2025, bringing care and compassion to even more veterans and communities. Watch now.

Why we started

Aspen Dental is committed to breaking down barriers like cost, access and education that prevent people at home and abroad from receiving essential oral health care.

Through the Healthy Mouth Movement and programs like Day of Service, Overseas Outreach, Smile for Your Service and the TAG Oral Care Center for Excellence, we’ve united to expand access and make a positive impact on communities and veterans.

A form to gather interest in future Healthy Mouth Movement opportunities will be available soon. In the meantime, please call 1-888-471-8804 or connect with a nearby office for the care you need.
