Dentistry that reaches children - and lasts.
For more than 30 years, volunteer dentists, hygienists, students, and healthcare professionals have donated their time and skills to Project Stretch in order to support children in the U.S., Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
Project Stretch provides dental care to underserved children and helps communities sustain it.
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving children’s oral health across the globe. We bring preventive and essential dental care to communities that lack access—and we help build the local knowledge, tools, and systems needed for long-term health.
