Let’s Make Oral Health Accessible for All
The Dental Bank is Abra Health Group’s community impact initiative, helping children, adults and families access free oral health essentials, free screenings, practical education and connections to high-quality, affordable dental care. We are committed to making oral health resources and services accessible to people of all backgrounds, abilities and circumstances.
Dental Disease Is Preventable
Dental problems can cause pain and infection and interfere with a person’s ability to eat, speak, sleep, learn and work. Prevention can only happen when people have access to basic oral health supplies, trusted information, early screenings and affordable, high-quality care.

Tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease among both children and adults in the United States, despite being largely preventable.

Education
Provides children, parents, caregivers and individuals with practical oral health information that supports healthy habits and informed decisions.
Connections to Care
Helps families and individuals connect with high-quality, affordable dental services so cost, coverage gaps or life circumstances do not stand in the way of essential care.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Works to ensure oral health resources and services are accessible to everyone, including individuals with language barriers, disabilities or sensory sensitivities.
Help Us Build a Healthier Community
