About Us

Bridges to Smiles, created by me, Zihan (Lisa) Zhou, a current high school student, is a website dedicated to spreading dental knowledge, promoting oral health, and fostering positivity around smiles for everyone. The mission is to empower individuals with the tools, information, and inspiration they need to take care of their dental well-being, regardless of background or language.

Resources include (more to come):

  • Dental Webinar Series for new Chinese Immigrants: A series of live and recorded webinars in Mandarin designed to provide dental education to the Chinese-speaking communities.

  • Research Papers & Videos: Zihan’s research paper and shorter videos that provides insights into various dental topics, ensuring that everyone can make informed decisions about their oral health.

  • Smile Cam: A collection of photos that celebrates the beauty of smiles, while also reminds people that everyone smiles and expresses happiness differently, aiming to spread smile positivity.

I believe that people are prettiest when they are smiling. Therefore, I make this website and encourages people to feel confident in their self-expression while also stay informed. There is so much to talk and so much more to learn about dentistry. So, I hope this website is helpful to you as it is to me :)
