We are committed to bringing awareness of life-threatening "Chronic Gum Disease", early stage of "Painless Cavity Disease" and slow "Acid eroding Disease" to the attention of the public by inspiring and motivating Everyone to enjoy Healthy Smiles for Life through Healthy Daily Habits.
Healthy smiles are AMAZINGLY MAGICAL when we share!

About the beginnings of our foundation...
Emma Kim is the founder of the Healthy Smiles for All Foundation.
"My dedication began...
In 1997, I went to have teeth cleaned in 3 or 4 years but was told that I had severe gum infection and will lose teeth if not treated by gum specialist. The surgeries which made me to have a plaster cast inside of mouth for weeks to save the teeth. All these suffering could have been prevented if I flossed daily... many dentists have told me to "You need to floss." then I tried then gums stared to bleed so I stopped. If only some one took time and explained "Why? or showed me "How?" All these horrible experience could have been prevented!
I have been a practicing dental hygienist for many years. Through my patients, I have witnessed endless decaying teeth and severe gum infection that causes bad breath are unknown to EVERY PATIENTS!
Why? Because Our Mouth is Blindside and we all ignore UNHEALTHY SIGNS such as bleeding when brushing, bad breath and known cavities as long as it doesn't hurt badly. We don't ignore when some parts of our body bleeds, smells bad or decaying... Out of site then out of mind and it doesn't bother us, there's no pain!"
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 Brighter 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.
