Caring Smiles
What We Do
Hygiene Kits
Healthcare and chemotherapy care
Caring Smiles delivers hygiene kits designed to promote healthy smiles and comfort while increasing access to resources that support oral and cardiovascular health for patients.
​
Cancer treatment–specific product: Chemotherapy and other cancer treatment drugs can cause a bitter taste in the mouth and increase the risk of cavities due to dry mouth. Dry mouth is a common side effect of cancer treatments. To help manage these effects, we created a comprehensive oral hygiene kit designed to combat dry mouth and improve comfort during treatment.
​
One hygiene kits include: a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, chapstick, scented hand sanitizer, and dry mouth drops.
​
All hygiene items are individually wrapped and packed in a clear cosmetic bag so they are ready for use.
​
Each kit is packaged neatly and tucked in with a handmade encouragement card that will make you smile :)
​
