Big Smiles is the nation’s leading in‑school dental program founded almost two decades ago by two moms who are also dentists. The founders saw a tremendous need among underserved school‑aged children who did not have easy access to dental care and who often suffered from poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, pain and associated medical problems. Today, through its dental partners, Big Smiles provides preventative and restorative care to approximately 500,000 children per year.
