Serving Hong Kong's
Underprivileged
with Advanced Multidisciplinary Dental Care
Introduction
We aim to serve Hong Kong’s underprivileged with advanced multidisciplinary dental care.
Severe diseases of the mouth and jaws like cancer, inflamed gums, tooth decay, crooked teeth, and deformed faces can impact overall quality-of-life, job prospects, and education. For those of us who suffer from deformed facial features, chronic tooth and jaw pain, headaches, and bleeding gums, something as simple as smiling becomes a real challenge and can lead to self-confidence issues, reclusiveness, and even suicidal tendencies. For the underserved members of our community, getting the advanced care they need can make a world of difference, yet access to advanced dental care is out of reach for many. SmilesForAll aims to serve Hong Kong's underprivileged with advanced multidisciplinary dental care.

“Tooth decay is the predominant oral health problem among preschool children in Hong Kong. This condition can significantly affect their health and development. The pain and infection caused by tooth decay can make it challenging for children to eat, sleep, and maintain a healthy growth pattern. Furthermore, it is a leading reason for their absence from school.”
