Dental Care Bridge (DCB) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to oral health care through hands-on dental outreach, education, and community partnerships. We operate locally and globally to ensure people receive compassionate, essential dental care, regardless of geography or circumstance.

Dental Care Bridge currently operates in:

  • India
  • Pennsylvania
  • New York

Our events are hosted in partnership with local clinics, schools, and community organizations to ensure culturally appropriate, community-driven care.

We organize high-impact dental outreach events that include:

  • Preventive dental care and screenings
  • Oral health education workshops
  • Distribution of dental hygiene supplies
  • Referrals and follow-up support when needed

Each event is designed around the specific needs of the community we serve.

We serve children, families, and adults who face financial, geographic, or systemic barriers to dental care, both in underserved U.S. communities and in international settings.

Care is delivered by licensed dentists, dental professionals, dental students, and trained volunteers, all working under appropriate supervision and in accordance with local regulations and professional standards.

DCB focuses on direct action and measurable impact. Rather than limiting efforts to awareness, we deliver real care through structured events, while building sustainable partnerships within each community.

To date, Dental Care Bridge has helped 700+ individuals across India, Pennsylvania, and New York access dental care, education, and essential oral health resources.

The Ingredients of Impact Individually powerful. Transformative together.

  • Direct Dental Care
    Hands-on dental care delivered at no cost to children and individuals facing barriers to access—restoring health, confidence, and dignity through every visit.
  • Sustainable Community Impact
    We go beyond one-time care by building sustainable systems within communities, partnering with schools, universities, and local organizations to ensure oral health support continues long after each visit.

The DCB Story

My Grandfather

The inspiration behind The Dental Care Bridge comes largely from my grandfather, Harish Khosla, whose unwavering generosity toward others left a lasting impact on me. This organization exists to honor his name and continue the spirit of compassion he lived by.

The DCB story

Built One Smile at a Time

On the way to a DECA conference during my junior year of high school, an idea took shape, what if dental care could be a bridge, not a barrier? That moment planted the seed for The Dental Care Bridge.

When the Community Believed

With nothing but a mission and momentum, a GoFundMe raised over $17,000 in just two and a half months, proving that people believed in the vision before anything else existed.

The Story Began to Travel

Local media outlets including News 12 and the Rivertown Journal shared DCB’s mission, helping spread the message that access to dental care should never depend on circumstance.

The DCB Story

Turning Vision Into Action

DCB’s first trip to India helped more than 50 children receive essential dental care; transforming an idea into real, hands-on impact.
