Adekemi Adeniyan is a dentist and the founder and executive director of the Dentalcare Foundation, based in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. She is passionate about improving the oral healthcare system and exploring the intersection of community and culture in relation to oral health. Her vision is to ensure that everyone has equal access to oral healthcare regardless of age, status, or gender. The Dentalcare Foundation is a nonprofit founded in 2018 with the mission of providing free oral healthcare and oral hygiene education to the underserved and fostering oral health equity in Nigeria. The majority of adults and children living in rural areas have no access to oral health care or information about oral hygiene. The Dentalcare Foundation works with a network of motivated dentists, students, and volunteers to bring high quality oral health care as well as accessible oral health education to underserved rural populations using mobile dentistry. We believe that oral health makes a significant difference in the lives of so many people; relieving pain resulting from poor oral health and improving people's well-being. Helping others find their healthy smiles brings us joy. www.dentcarefoundation.org
