Welcome to the Phillips Renner Foundation

You know what the U.S. is good at exporting?

Cavities.

Other large nations with growing economies are good at it, too. Corporations make billions of dollars selling junk food and soft drinks to kids around the world.

And while children in richer nations have more readily available doctors and dentists, infrastructure, and insurance, those in less wealthy nations often do not. As a result, they more often suffer dental decay.

Cavities can lead to infections, which have a host of nasty consequences. Unchecked infections in the upper molars can lead to blindness and even brain damage; unchecked infections in the lower molars can lead to respiratory problems. Children can’t learn and grow into their full potential when they are battling infections and pain.

To meet the growing need, the Phillips Renner Foundation (PRF) sends dentists and technicians to communities around the world where children are suffering. Our teams extract infected teeth, repair cavities, and prevent future ones through medical care and education. By treating their dental pain, PRF ensures children can better study, learn, and build toward a better future for themselves and their communities. Most important of all, they reclaim their self-esteem and hope for brighter days ahead.

But PRF can’t do this work alone.

That’s where you come in. With your donation, PRF can continue to provide free, high-quality dental care for these children. Especially now, with the defunding and dismantling of NGOs, international development, and foreign aid, it is even more critical to support grassroots organizations like PRF, which have always been able to do more with less.
