Welcome
Dear Early Head Start Educator:
For nearly 30 years, the Colgate-Palmolive Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® (BSBF) program has been providing children, teachers, and families the tools they need to make good oral health a permanent part of their lives. BSBF teaches children not only how to care for their teeth and gums, but why good oral health is important. Helping children develop healthy long-term dental care habits empowers them to become lifelong Tooth Defenders.
Because of educators like you, BSBF has reached over 1 billion children, spanning 80 countries and in 30 languages.
Thank you for being a part of Bright Smiles, Bright Futures®!
