We Believe in Supporting Local Businesses

Mobile Outreach
Kids Tooth Team Outreach believes that all children deserve the best care in the world by the most well-trained doctors and staff in the safest and cleanest facilities, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. That’s why our mobile pediatric dental clinic brings a safe, fun environment to patients who need access to quality care — free of charge.
81% of 3rd graders have experienced dental caries.
Poor oral health is associated with poor academic performance.
The ratio of pediatric dentists drops significantly as distance from the city center is increased.
How it Works
Step 1
We work together with schools, community organizations, and shelters to pre-screen children and obtain the necessary releases for treatment on the van.
Step 2
Next, we work with the school to stage the van onsite to provide preventive procedures such as sealants as well as minor restorative procedures.
Step 3
The ultimate goal is to match children with a permanent dental home, whether it be our foundation or one of our community partners.
