Danica Patrick is shining a spotlight on an often overlooked healthcare issue – oral health – as she teams up with Aspen Dental and Oral Health America to launch the Healthy Mouth Movement, a community giving initiative designed to deliver free dental care to thousands of people in need in communities across the U.S., and oral health education to millions more.
“Last year 100 million Americans didn’t visit a dentist, and millions more live in communities with little or no access to dental care,” said Patrick, driver of the No. 10 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “This is an issue that affects a lot of hard-working people, including NASCAR fans, who are often living in pain. It’s time to do something about it, and that’s why I’m proud to partner with Aspen Dental and Oral Health America.”
Through the Healthy Mouth Movement, dentists and team members from every Aspen Dental practice in 27 states will devote a day to providing much-needed dental care to those who need it most – free of charge, no questions asked. And to reach communities where care isn’t available, the newly-constructed Aspen Dental MouthMobile, a fully-equipped dental office on wheels, will go directly into communities to not only provide free service, but raise awareness.

At Aspen Dental we aren’t just talking about making a difference, we’re actually doing it. In 2014, dentists and team members from Aspen Dental practices across 27 states will volunteer a day to providing much-needed dental care to those who need it most, and donating a free dentist visit, free of charge, no questions asked.
In the spirit of helping as many people as we can, our dentists will focus on treating the most urgent dental need of each patient by providing a dental service such as a filling, extraction, basic cleaning or denture repair.
Our first priority is to get people out of pain, make them aware of what other dental needs they have, and through our partners at Oral Health America, connect them with free dentists or low-cost resources in their community that will help them continue to address their dental care needs.
