About Big Smiles

Founded over twenty years ago by two dentist moms, Big Smiles is the nation's leading in-school dental program. We serve underserved school-aged children who lack easy access to dental care, often suffering from poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, and associated health issues.

Recognizing the challenges parents face in taking children to the dentist, we bring care directly to schools using portable technology. Our dedicated team transforms classrooms, gyms, or auditoriums into fully functional dental offices for the day. Annually, our professionals provide care to over 500,000 children coast to coast.
