It's something that's easily taken for granted, but toothbrushes are a modern advancement that have significantly increased the quality of health for the human species, which is something that Smiles for the People looks to continue pushing forward. Operating on a one-for-one business model, Smiles for the People donates the cash equivalent of a brush to those who don't have access or the means to afford oral healthcare.
Crafted from biodegradable bamboo, Smiles for the People toothbrushes come in a variety of funky bristle color choices and offer a more sustainable, philanthropic choice for brushers. Packaged in a recyclable box with limited materials, Smiles for the People takes the more realistic approach to the one-for-one by putting funds to optimal use instead of hand delivering individual brushes.
