Tooth B.U.D.D.S. (Bringing Understanding of Dental Disease to Schools) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization staffed by Affiliated Practice Dental Hygienists living in the Gila Valley founded in response to the reported disparities in oral health care in the rural counties of Arizona; specifically Graham and Greenlee Counties.  Tooth BUDDS has set its focus on the children of this region who, through the efforts of this non-profit and generous funding partners, may receive a dental screening, dental cleaning, fluoride treatment, sealants and Silver Diamine Fluoride applications free of charge in their school setting.  Tooth BUDDS takes it one step farther by utilizing teledentistry to connect patients with urgent decay to their dental provider for follow up treatment.
