Dr. Lynda Colaizzi, a South Florida dentist and children’s health care advocate, has donated 20,000 pre-pasted toothbrushes to the Alonzo Mourning Foundation for immediate distribution in Haiti.

Colaizzi’s company, N-Sta-Smile, produces disposable toothbrushes that are pre-pasted, non foaming (no water necessary, no spitting), non rinsing, recyclable, and cost pennies.

Colaizzi is committed to childrens’ dental health, no matter the location or economic standing, and has been in the process of developing strategies to work with Haiti and other challenged countries. The earthquake made it all happen much faster.

She is also committed to putting a disposable toothbrush on every child’s cafeteria tray in every elementary school in Dade and Broward counties. That’s for starters. Her ultimate vision is global in scope.

Lynda’s toothbrushes were just used at a dental clinic in Biscayne Elementary School.
School health officials in Dade and Broward, elected officials and children’s grant programs all recognize the importance of the project. Dental health is imperative for a child’s general health and well-being.

N-Sta-Smile is aggressively seeking grants, government funding, foundation support and donations to make their passion for healthy children a reality.

Please call 305.761.6536 for more information on how to get involved.
