How You Can Help
Donations
Tooth Fairy Inc is a 501 (c) 3 that provides orthodontic care to foster children and economically disadvantaged children in Southern Idaho. We provide care for the worst cases. Often these children cannot eat, experience severe mouth pain, or are bullied because of their smile. Our referrals come from case workers, school counselors and dentists/orthodontists. We believe every child should live free from mouth pain and should be able to smile proudly without fear of being teased or bullied because of their smile. This truly is a gift that will last a lifetime!
Please reach out to us should you know a child in need or wish to donate to our cause. Your donation is tax deductible!

Mission
Mission
Our mission is to provide orthodontic care to foster children and economically disadvantaged children in Southern Idaho. After meeting with several orthodontists in our area, we were thrilled that two providers believed in our program and agreed to help our mission. After 5 years, both Braces R Us and Ward Orthodontics still remain our providers.
Our referrals come from case workers within Health and Welfare for foster children. We receive referrals from orthodontists who have new patients come in, but who cannot afford the care. The orthodontists send us only those who they believe will benefit the greatest from this service. We also receive referrals from school counselors who are privy to children being bullied because of their teeth.
APPLICATION
“So often I don’t get to see the “good” ending as I work with kids who struggle in the foster care system. In the last few days, I have seen the final chapters evolve from the results of your great Tooth Fairy program. Thank you so much for being vested in and helping to build this young girl’s self image and dreams. Four years ago, I saw her at her lowest point while she lived with us in foster care. She had no self-esteem, loathed herself and refused to smile because she hated her teeth. Last night, we took her to have her senior pictures taken only days after her braces came off that were made possible through your amazing program! You have truly changed a life and helped her see herself as the true beauty she is inside and out. This program was a huge blessing to her!”

“Thank you so much for changing my life. I now have the confidence to do new things and meet new people. Before, I was afraid and ashamed to smile. Other kids in my school teased me all the time. It was hard and lonely. I smile all the time now, without fear…..I am excited for the future.”
