Poligrip & Polident Showcases Impact of Receiving Dentures in New Video and Launches Second Nationwide Oral Health and Wellness Tour with Free Dental Care to those in Underserved Communities
WARREN, N.J., March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On World Oral Health Day, Polident and Poligrip, the World's #1 Denture Care Brand1, and Remote Area Medical (RAM) Volunteer Corp, are excited to announce the release of a new video showcasing the transformative impact of dentures on people's lives. The video emphasizes the individuals who, due to affordability or distance to dental professionals, have limited access to dental care and now have received the help they needed.
RAM, using state of the art technology, is now able to create custom 3D dentures in just a fraction of the time people would otherwise have to wait, transforming lives practically overnight, for free! Polident, Poligrip and RAM have joined forces to show the impact of providing dental care from last year's tour to create this inspiring video, available on Polident, Poligrip, and RAM's digital platforms. It features real-life stories of individuals whose lives have been significantly improved by Polident and Poligrip sponsored dentures and can serve as inspiration to others.
It's a sobering fact that nearly 69 million adults in the US do not have dental coverage2 and the Appalachian region has a history of poor dental coverage and care compared to the rest of the country.3 Recognizing this, Polident, Poligrip and RAM are embarking on their second nationwide mobile denture lab tour. The Mobile Denture Unit will pull into Walmart parking lots across the country and provide care to patients that day, allowing RAM to reach more patients than ever before. The tour aims to reach communities with limited access to dental care, providing direct assistance and highlighting the importance of oral health. The mobile denture lab will make 15 tour stops, focusing on oral health and wellness while providing full dental services through the 3-bay dental trailer—an increase from 12 solo stops in 2024.
"Our collaboration with RAM and Walmart extends our mission to address the dental crisis in the US by providing dental services and ongoing oral health education to communities that need it the most," said Brett Henige for Polident and Poligrip. "This tour has helped us connect with patients and see firsthand the transformative power of receiving their new smiles."
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Polident and Poligrip on this initiative," said Chris Hall, Chief Operating Officer at RAM. "Over 49 million Americans live in places that are dentally underserved. Together with Polident and Poligrip, we can reach more people and make a significant difference in their oral health."
