Dental

Change a Life Foundation believes that every individual deserves the opportunity to have access to adequate health resources. One of the Foundation’s goals is to help individuals who are experiencing dental problems as a result of injury, accidents or genetics, through no fault of their own, to get the dental care they need. Change a Life Foundation collaborates with non-profit organizations from throughout the central and southern California regions to provide grants for dental health needs such as emergency root canals, dentures for the elderly, oral surgery and orthodontia for children in foster care.

Change a Life Foundation understands the impact that poor dental health can have on individuals. Not only does it affect your physical health, but it also can affect your self-esteem and ability to live healthy and productive lives.  The Foundation is determined to continue their mission to make dental care a priority and help provide dental services to those who need it most. In 2009, Change a Life Foundation helped several individuals with 106 grants totaling $412,893 in allocations for dental services.

 
George was born in Nairobi and legally immigrated the US.  The water in the housing compound where he grew up contained excess fluoride which disfigured and stained his teeth.  In the US, he was unable to get a job because of his appearance, even though he completed a bank training program.  A grant for crowns and fillings has helped George to obtain a customer service position.
