Who We Are

Beyond the Brush Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to preventive oral health education for underserved communities.

Founded by healthcare professionals and community advocates, we recognized a critical gap in dental health education and resources for low-income families. Our team works tirelessly to bridge this gap through innovative programs, community partnerships, and direct outreach.

We believe that every child deserves the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy smile, regardless of their family's economic circumstances.
