Bring Dental Care to Your School!

Quality Dental Services for Students, Right in Their School

At TheSmileZone, we believe every child deserves access to essential dental care. Our school-based dental program delivers professional services directly to students in a familiar and convenient setting. All services are completely free for schools and families, with no out-of-pocket costs. While we provide services free of charge, we seek insurance reimbursement when applicable with parental consent. Insurance is not required for any child to receive our care. Rest assured; we will never ask families for payment. Our goal is to make dental care stress-free and accessible for everyone.

Why In-School Dental Care Matters

Good oral health plays a crucial role in a child's ability to learn and thrive. Yet, millions of children go without necessary dental care due to financial or logistical barriers. Here’s why school-based dental care is so important:

  • More than 51 million school hours are lost annually due to dental issues.
  • Tooth decay is five times more prevalent than asthma among children.
  • 16 million children in the U.S. lack access to basic dental care.
  • Only one in four Medicaid-eligible children receive dental services.
  • Three out of five children are affected by cavities.

By offering dental care at school, we eliminate obstacles to treatment, keeping kids healthy and in the classroom where they belong.

Comprehensive Care Provided by TheSmileZone

We use advanced portable equipment to set up a fully functional dental clinic inside your school. Our licensed dental professionals offer a range of preventive and restorative treatments, including:

Every student receives a detailed dental report, ensuring parents are informed of their child’s oral health and any follow-up care recommendations.

 Here’s how it works:

  • We schedule a day for our dental team to visit your school. 
  • Prior to our visit we will send you consent forms and communication tools for parents and guardians.
  • Your teachers may hand out our consent forms and the students will take those home for signatures. Families who wish their child to participate will then bring those consent forms back to the school. (There is also a QR code & link provided for online forms)
  • We can coordinate a pickup, or your team contact person can send via email. 
  • On the day of the visit, the dental team will set up an in-school dental office and we will provide the necessary dental care.
  • Every student we see will get a dental visit summary and a TAKE-HOME DENTAL HYGIENE KIT.

Endorsement of School-Based Dental Services

The American Dental Association (ADA) supports in-school dental programs as an effective way to combat childhood cavities and promote lifelong oral health. In a recent statement, the ADA reinforced its commitment to expanding mobile and school-based dental care to reach underserved children.
