Volunteers.

of public health dentistry.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS:

EducationKids Smiles Community Educators provide innovative oral health education throughout the communities that we serve. This programming is suited for all ages and is delivered in Head Start and day care centers, as well as at public, private, and charter schools.

Dental ScreeningsKids Smiles Dentists and Dental Hygienists provide visual screenings, noting the overall oral health of a student, as well as possible decay or urgent need. These results are shared with parents and the school. Phone calls are made to parents of children with possible decay or urgent need, allowing for Kids Smiles to provide access to care.

PreventionMobile dental equipment is used in school settings to provide comprehensive preventive services by Kids Smiles Dentists. Results are shared with the children’s parents and the school, and follow up appointments are scheduled at our centers.

Primary Care PartnersThe Kids Smiles oral health education program is delivered in primary care waiting rooms by our Community Educators. This effort allows us to educate entire families about the importance of oral health while directly appointing patients with dental exams at our centers.
