The desire to give back has been instilled in each of us ever since we started working for DMG America, a company that started out as a small family business with a big dream and grew to become an internationally renowned manufacturer of innovative dental materials. Under the leadership of our late co-founder Herb Wolfe and his son – and our president – George Wolfe,  our family-oriented roots have helped shaped who we are as a company and continue to guide us on our journey in helping others.  

As George Wolfe says, “At DMG, we feel blessed to be able to go to work every day to develop truly innovative solutions that help our customers provide oral care to their patients more effectively, efficiently and affordably. We feel doubly blessed that because we’ve been successful in supporting our valued customers, we have the means to also support charitable organizations that are providing badly-needed care to those members of society who otherwise might not have access to it.”

Here are just some of the outstanding charitable organizations that DMG is proud to support: 

• Give Kids a Smile, an American Dental Association (ADA) Foundation program that has provided free oral health services to more than 5.5 million underserved children.  
• Dental Trade Alliance Foundation (DTAF), which provides academic scholarships and grants to organizations promoting increased access to oral care. George chairs the Foundation’s board.
