Spotlight on Generosity: MDS Foundation Supporting Smiles for Success

The Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) Foundation has awarded Smiles for Success a generous grant to expand access to life-changing dental care for women in Massachusetts who are preparing to re-enter the workforce. This support will help restore not just smiles, but confidence, dignity, and opportunity for women facing financial barriers to dental treatment.
With this funding, more women will receive essential dental care that allows them to pursue job opportunities, engage in their communities, and move forward with renewed self-esteem. By investing in these women’s futures, the MDS Foundation is making a lasting impact—one smile at a time.
We are profoundly grateful for this partnership and for the MDS Foundation’s dedication to changing lives through access to oral healthcare.
