Unspoken Smiles Breaks Ground with Costa Rica's First Fully Preventive and Green Dental Clinic

In the heart of Costa Rica, a revolution in dental care is underway. Unspoken Smiles Preventive Dental Clinic, is not your typical dental facility. Beyond its commitment to top-notch dental care, this clinic stands as a beacon for environmental sustainability and community well-being.

Unspoken Smiles is on a mission to redefine dental care by focusing on prevention and education. The clinic offers high-quality preventive only dental services while promoting eco-friendly practices, creating a unique blend that sets it apart in the healthcare landscape. At the core of its ethos is a commitment to providing free preventive dental care for all children under 17 years old, ensuring a foundation of lifelong oral health.

A groundbreaking initiative, the Zero Cavity Initiative, is set to make waves across Costa Rica. With over 5,400 schools in the country gaining universal access to preventative dental care, Unspoken Smiles aims to spare more than 1.3 million children from the agony of painful and costly dental procedures. This initiative not only focuses on building healthy smiles but also recognizes the profound impact oral health has on a child's physical, emotional, and academic well-being.

Unspoken Smiles is extending its reach beyond individual patients to small businesses, particularly the 85,820 micro, small, and medium enterprises in Costa Rica. By offering a $17 monthly subscription model, the clinic ensures that adults and families, as well as employees of partnering businesses without dental insurance, can access quality dental services at an affordable cost. Moreover, companies that join this noble cause gain the dual advantage of promoting employee health and well-being while enjoying tax credits, as Unspoken Smiles is a registered charitable organization.

The driving force behind Unspoken Smiles is its commitment to creating a sustainable financial model. By 2030, the clinic envisions millions of Costa Ricans benefiting from unlimited access to basic preventative dental care. This ambitious initiative not only promises healthier smiles but also anticipates a reduction in healthcare costs, improved overall well-being, and a brighter future for the nation.

At the heart of the clinic's operations are the 20 Unspoken Smiles Fellows, carefully selected earlier this year. These dedicated professionals are the backbone of the clinic, ensuring that every patient receives top-notch care while upholding the values of preventive dentistry.

Unspoken Smiles is more than just a dental clinic; it's a movement toward a healthier, more sustainable future. However, to bring this ambitious project to fruition, Unspoken Smiles is calling on the public for support. Donations are urgently needed to fund crucial building renovations, acquire dental equipment, and secure necessary supplies.
