Sun Life U.S. and DentaQuest, part of its Dental business, today announced a three-year agreement to continue supporting TeamSmile as it aims to help more underserved children get oral healthcare and education. With a funding total of $825,000 over three years, this partnership will help reach even more children served through TeamSmile’s flagship free dental clinics and the Dental Home Project, Powered by DentaQuest.
Sun Life and DentaQuest have partnered with TeamSmile for the last 15 years, expanding access to oral healthcare through free, large-scale dental clinics anchored in popular sports team stadiums and arenas. The Dental Home Project, Powered by DentaQuest aims to connect children at TeamSmile programs with a local primary dentist to provide care for each child as they grow. Nearly half of all attendees since the program launched were without a dental home. As of December 2024, more than 80% of those in need have been matched, and almost 80% of them have already attended their first follow-up dental appointment.
