Founded in 2013 by Joe Brennan, a 22 year-old traveler, humanitarian, and entrepreneur, Smiles for the People is a small company with a vision for a world in which no person lives without access to quality, affordable dental care.
We believe that consumers can turn their everyday purchases into small acts of generosity; by purchasing a simple, beautiful, environmentally responsible toothbrush, YOU can help change a life. We also believe that a smile is an incredibly powerful thing. People who lack the ability to smile often struggle with self-image, physical and emotional pain, lack of focus, and an inability to grab hold of opportunity.
The ability to smile truly changes everything. It enables people to focus in school, find meaningful work, provide for their families, and maintain their health. “Our name- Smiles for the People- is a rallying cry and a call to action,” Brennan says. “It demands that each of us stand up and fight for the right of all people to smile, regardless of whether they can afford a dentist or a toothbrush.”
Smiles for the People is more than a company- it’s a movement of consumers standing up for that fundamental right. Join us in that movement by purchasing a toothbrush at Smilesforthepeople.com. For every brush you buy, we’ll donate the equivalent of one toothbrush to someone in need.
