FDI Smile Award

FDI Smile Grant

Supported by Colgate, the FDI Smile Grant promotes preventive oral care at the local level. The US$5,000 grant recognizes member National Dental Associations (NDAs) that are making a difference in oral health through innovative and sustainable community outreach projects in their countries.

The FDI Smile Grant is open to any FDI Regular or Associate member. It is designed to reward projects that have been actively rolled out for at least one year and that will continue for at least one year more. Eligible projects may address any oral health issue and/or disease, with a strong focus on oral health education and oral health prevention and promotion.

The award is given to two applicants for their original projects. Nominations are made in April of each year and the Awards Ceremony takes place during the General Assembly at the FDI World Dental Congress.
