Smile Programs is the nation’s leading in‑school dental program, founded almost two decades ago by two mom‑dentists. The founders identified a tremendous need among underserved school‑aged children who lacked easy access to dental care and often suffered from poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, pain, and associated medical problems. Knowing that many parents could not take their children to the dentist due to time off from work and transportation challenges, they sought to bring care directly to the school.

Today, through its dental partners, Smile Programs provides preventive and restorative care to approximately 500,000 children per year. Smile Programs affiliates with state‑licensed dentists, hygienists, and assistants who use state‑of‑the‑art portable equipment to provide all services onsite, directly in the school or in a self‑contained mobile dental facility on site. If portable equipment is used, classrooms, auditoriums or other school venues are transformed into fully functional dental offices for the day.

Our expertise, built over years of experience delivering mobile dental care to schools, enables us to deliver exceptional care with minimal disruption to the normal school routine. Smile Programs is currently active in 20 states and has ongoing strategic partnerships with over 8,000 school districts, including 21 of the 25 largest school districts in the country.

Given the ongoing lack of access for many underserved children across the country, our services are in great demand and we are always looking for caring, compassionate professionals to join our team and play their part in making a difference in the lives of today’s underserved children.
