How a dental supply company is helping to change the world
Practicon, Inc. is changing the world, one toothbrush at a . . .
Corporate partner since 2010
Practicon, Inc. develops innovative products to solve common problems in the dental industry. Practicon was started in 1982 by Ann Page Griffin and has been dedicated to improving dentistry ever since. Today, the family business distributes its catalog around the world, selling more than 3,000 dental products, and has become a leading distributor in the dental field.
Nearly two decades ago, Practicon President Scott Griffin was introduced to World Help when the Children of the World International Children’s Choir visited his church. Scott opened his home to three girls from the choir, who left such an impact that the family business decided to partner with World Help. Scott even became a member of the board of directors.
When Practicon began looking for a way to make a global difference in 2010, Scott reached out to World Help to see how his company could help provide clean water around the world. In 2013, Practicon began to donate a portion of every Smile Goods toothbrush to building clean-water wells in impoverished communities. To date, the company has funded 13 wells in Guatemala, Uganda, Zimbabwe, India, and Peru.
World Help is thankful to Practicon and the Griffin family for their continued generosity.
