Philanthropy
Dentulu was founded in response to disparities in oral health around the world due to outdated and inefficient dental delivery models and limited access to quality care. Unfortunately, millions of patients still continue to live in “Dental Deserts” and either do not have access to dental care or are unable to afford or travel to the dentist.
Dentulu provides access to bridge the oral disparities persistent in Dentistry and uses its technology and network of nationwide dentists to deliver dental care direct to consumers where and when they need it most. Dentulu also offers low cost, and consolidated software solutions to dentist who can use this advanced technology to better serve their patients.
Dentulu is also proud to support the Dentulu Smiles Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit telehealth organization, in providing free and low-cost teledentistry solutions for nonprofits and volunteer organizations around the world.
