Empowering communities
At Delta Dental of Massachusetts, we know that oral health directly impacts overall health and we are working toward a system that recognizes and understands that value. We work with all our partners — members, dentists, employers, community health leaders and more — to drive progress.
Together, we’re empowering a system that works for everyone — from Ahh to Z.
We’re teaming up with Boston basketball star Sam Hauser for Veterans Assists—a season-long campaign to improve Veterans’ oral health!
For every assist this season, Delta Dental will donate $25, up to $50,000, to the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine’s Cares for Veterans. A vital program that provides dental care to veterans experiencing housing challenges across Massachusetts—giving them access to the care they deserve and a reason to smile.
Empowering Smiles, one summer at a time
As a proud Massachusetts company, we’re committed to the communities we serve. Everything we do — from Ahh to Z — works to support access to quality and affordable care and ultimately, help communities across our state stay healthy.
Every summer, the DDMA team rolls up their sleeves to spread smiles across Massachusetts! Through our Summer of Smiles program, dedicated volunteers pack and deliver thousands of oral hygiene kits to nonprofit organizations serving communities in need.
This year, aimed higher than ever — with 5,000 kits delivered with essentials to help kids and families maintain healthy, happy smiles all summer long. Follow us on social media to catch our team in action.
Mobilizing dental care in underserved communities
Did you know tooth decay, the most common childhood disease in the U.S., results in more than 51 million lost school hours each year? Access to oral health care from a young age is so important, and that’s why we’re proud to be working with ForsythKids to expand access to mobile and school-based dental care in underserved local communities.
Helping local dental clinics
In recognition of National Oral Health Day on March 20, 2025, the Delta Dental team connected with Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP) to arrange the donation of 100 Dental Kits for the benefit of the underserved communities treated at their Boston dental clinic.
Celebrating exceptional dentists
Massachusetts is home to some of the best dentists in their field. And we’re excited to honor local dentists who are doing outstanding work in advancing oral health by making a donation to a nonprofit of each winner's choice.
