NIDCR

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) is a part of the U.S. government that funds and supports research to improve oral health. Its goal is to understand how teeth, gums, and facial structures develop, prevent, and treat conditions like tooth decay, gum disease, and facial injuries. By advancing scientific knowledge, NIDCR aims to improve dental care, develop new treatments, and promote overall oral wellness for people of all ages.
