Colgate's Global Impact
Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures is among the most successful children's oral health initiatives. Since 1991 the program has impacted the lives of more than a billion children by providing free oral health education and dental care in over 80 countries.
Award Winning Oral Health Curriculum
We believe oral health is foundational, not just to bright smiles, but also to long-term health, wellbeing, and opportunity. Developed by global dental care experts, Colgate’s multi-cultural dental education materials and games help kids learn powerful habits like brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and empowering them to keep their smiles healthy for a lifetime.
Through our proven curriculum (available online and in 30 languages), and through advocacy we work to ensure that cavity prevention remains a top global health priority.
