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. Big Smiles provides preventative and restorative care to approximately 500,000 children per year through its dental partners. Tooth decay is the most common, preventable disease among children, more common than asthma. In fact, each year, over 51 million school hours are lost due to oral health related issues. Big Smiles affiliates with state-licensed dentists, hygienists and assistants who use state-of-the-art portable equipment to provide all services onsite, directly in the school or in a self-contained mobile dental facility on site at the school. Our expertise enables us to bring exceptional care with minimal disruption to the normal school routine. Big Smiles is currently active in 20 states and has ongoing strategic partnerships with over 8,000 school districts, including 21 of the 25 largest school districts in the country.
