Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions.
Everything you might want to know about supporting Atomic Smile. Don't see your question? Just reach out.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Atomic Smile is working toward federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Once that status is confirmed, donations will be tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law and you’ll receive a receipt for your records. Have a question in the meantime? Just reach out — we’re happy to talk.
How is my donation used?
Your gift goes directly toward reaching more children: hygiene kits and supplies, classroom materials, screening events, and the community workshops that keep families engaged. We’re committed to transparency — as we grow, we’ll publish how funds are allocated so you can see exactly what your support makes possible.
How can I volunteer?
We’d love your help! We welcome dental professionals for screenings, and community volunteers to help run lessons, assemble hygiene kits, and support events. Tell us a little about yourself on our Get Involved page and we’ll be in touch about opportunities near you.
Do you partner with schools and clinics?
Yes — partnerships are at the heart of our work. We collaborate with schools, after-school programs, community organizations, and dental clinics to reach children where they already are and to connect families with follow-up care. If your organization would like to host a program, let’s talk.
Which children do you serve?
We focus on children in marginalized and under-resourced communities, where untreated tooth decay is far more common and access to dental care is hardest. Our programs are free for the families and schools we work with, and they’re designed to be welcoming to kids of every background, language, and ability.
