The need is great. The rewards are GREATER.
About us
Big Smiles is the nation’s leading in-school dental program founded more than two decades ago by two moms, who happen to also be 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 health problems. Knowing that many parents could not take their children to the dentist due to issues including time off from work and transportation challenges, they sought to bring the care to the need. Using the latest technology in portable equipment, a team of dedicated dental professionals provide preventive and restorative dental care to children right at school. Our flexibility and expertise allow us to transform classrooms, auditoriums, gyms or other suitable areas into fully functional dental offices for the day. Every year, through its devoted group of dental professionals, Big Smiles puts happy, healthy smiles on over 500,000 children from 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 855-957-4375 or email [email protected]. You’ll be glad you did.

"A growing body of research shows that SDF [silver diamine fluoride]—which is quicker to apply and less expensive than sealants—can prevent and arrest cavities, reducing the need for drilling and filling," said Richard Niederman, DMD, professor of epidemiology & health promotion at NYU College of Dentistry and the study's senior author. https://lnkd.in/gBwQJfQj

Special thanks to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for speaking with CEO Steve Higginbotham about our school-based dental home program. The DeWine administration, along with the Ohio state legislature, backed the largest Medicaid dental reimbursement increase in the state's history, lifting costly regulations that restricted access to care and advancing school-based health care throughout Ohio. We are excited to host Gov. DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted at one of our in-school dental visits soon. Smile America Partners is also pleased to be working with Gov. Abbott, his administration and other key Texas stakeholders to promote the value of school-based health care in reaching its vulnerable populations.

Congrats to our own Nancy Kuy, RDH, MSc for her article in Dimensions of Dental Hygiene highlighting the importance of school-based dental programs, particularly among immigrant children. Thank you for dedicating your time and voice to this worthy cause. With cultural sensitivity, we can address the significant barriers to care faced by asylum seekers and bring smiles and good oral health where they are needed. https://lnkd.in/gqXmwwXu
