A healthy smile is a powerful thing. That's why the Delta Dental of Virginia Foundation is committed to improving the oral health of all Virginians. But good oral health means much more than a nice smile. A healthy mouth is essential to overall wellness.

The Delta Dental of Virginia Foundation's mission is to create healthy smiles for all Virginians through education, program development and community partnerships. The Delta Dental of Virginia Foundation strives to achieve its mission through its Smart Smiles outreach program.
An important part of our mission at Delta Dental of Virginia is to improve the oral health of all Virginians through research, education and access to care for the underserved. Good oral health is more important than ever, as research continues to demonstrate the link between oral health and overall health.
