Ivoclar Joy Delivers Over 24,000 Treatments Globally, Expands Life-Changing Dental Aid to the Philippines

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – March 26, 2025 - Empowering Smiles Across Continents
Through its dedicated aid program Ivoclar Joy, the Ivoclar Group has transformed oral health access for children in underserved regions. With over 12,000 young patients receiving treatment and educational outreach since its launch in 2023, the initiative is now set to expand its reach to the Philippines.

Global Mission, Local Impact
The Liechtenstein-based dental and medical device company developed Ivoclar Joy to tackle the root causes of untreated dental conditions, particularly among children and adolescents in less privileged regions. By offering direct dental care and promoting preventive hygiene practices, the initiative helps address the long-term effects of oral health neglect.

“By taking targeted action, the dental and medical device company is committed to enabling children to live a life free of tooth decay, reducing the high number of school dropouts caused by dental pain, to ultimately improve both educational opportunities and quality of life for children.”

Over 24,000 Treatments in Just Two Years
From January 2023 to December 2024, Ivoclar Joy successfully administered more than 24,000 dental treatments to over 12,000 children. These efforts were bolstered by ongoing awareness and hygiene training programs delivered at local schools and institutions.

This milestone represents not only a remarkable reach but a sustainable, community-empowering model that fosters long-lasting improvements in oral health.

Strategic Global Presence
Currently active in Ghana, Cambodia, and Peru, Ivoclar Joy partners with universities and hospitals to set up operational bases at each project site. A key pillar of its success is the training and empowerment of local dental professionals, ensuring that care delivery can be sustained long after initial deployment.

“Ivoclar Joy helps eliminate tooth decay, paving the way for better educational prospects and improved quality of life.”

Three-Phase Treatment Approach with Mobile Support
Each location is equipped with a mobile dental unit—fully stocked with Ivoclar materials and instruments—enabling the team to serve even the most remote communities. These mobile units form the backbone of the program’s structured three-phase approach:

  • Prevention and oral hygiene
  • Small restorations
  • Basic fillings and surgical procedures

By providing the necessary resources and fully covering all operational costs, Ivoclar ensures no barriers stand between children and essential care.

“Careful training in the use of Ivoclar materials and equipment is crucial for empowering local professionals in Cambodia to continue treatments independently and on a long-term basis.”

Philippines Expansion Brings New Hope
In 2025, Ivoclar Joy will launch its fourth project site in Palawan, a province in the western Philippines. Following a thorough evaluation by the outreach team, preparations are well underway, with the goal of beginning treatments as soon as possible.

“Most children share one toothbrush among multiple family members. The happiness is all the greater when children receive their own utensils and are taught how to use them properly.”

Looking Ahead: A Brighter Smile, A Brighter Future
As Ivoclar Joy continues to scale its mission, the impact on children's lives—through healthier smiles and improved educational opportunities—underscores the program’s value and vision.
