The mission of TLC for Healthy Smiles Foundation, Inc. is to bring life-threatening (chronic) Oral Diseases to the attention of the public and to inspire and train people to fight back with simple but effective flossing and brushing techniques through healthy habits.
It's all about your smile...Healing the world through healthy confident smiles!!

Emma Kim is the founder of the TLC for Healthy Smiles Foundation and has been a practicing dental hygienist for many years. Through her patients, she has witnessed needless suffering due to the "silent epidemics" of tooth decay (cavity epidemic) and inflammation/infection/tooth loss (gum disease epidemic). Also, people have acid from their favorite foods and beverages eroding away the enamel surfaces of their teeth (acid epidemic) due to ignorance.

Most dental professionals state they have never seen a patient who did not have bleeding gums. Yet, over 98% of their patients were either unaware of, or ignored their early signs of gum disease (bleeding gums) or cavities because they didn't hurt.

Through educating patients on the reasons why they should brush and floss-effectively-and giving hands-on demonstrations of proper techniques, as well as explaining how to utilize otherwise unused time (while watching a favorite T.V. show or a movie), Emma Kim has helped thousands of patients in her clinical practice and through her presentations. The majority of her participants, (80+ %),  have healthier mouths and more confident smiles from developing healthier habits!

Many of her appreciative patients prompted her to give much needed oral hygiene educational presentations to the public. Therefore, she has created this non-profit, 501(c)3 organization, TLC for Healthy Smiles Foundation Inc.
