Smile Programs—mobile dentists—is the nation’s leading in‑school dental program founded more than two decades ago by two moms who are dentists. They saw a tremendous need among underserved school‑aged children who lacked easy access to dental care and suffered from poor oral hygiene. Using the latest portable equipment, our dedicated team provides preventive and restorative care right at schools, transforming classrooms, auditoriums, gyms or other suitable areas into fully functional dental offices for the day.

Every year we bring healthy smiles to over 500,000 children coast to coast.

Join us in our mission to bring smiles and good oral health to where they are needed. Call or text us at  or email .
