Bright Smiles, Bright Kids, Bright Futures
Our award-winning model is a multi-faceted approach that addresses common barriers to oral health care, such as: lack of access to services, lack of integration between primary and oral health care, cost of care, and low oral health literacy.
Each of Kids Smiles’ programs and services were established to address some if not several of these common barriers, but combined are both unique and still replicable, ensuring that the community and its children have permanent access to programs and services that will improve future health outcomes. Kids Smiles offers language access service, free of charge, available to you.
Clinical Care
Kids Smiles’ child-friendly dental centers provide patients with comprehensive oral health care including exams, cleanings, x-rays, fluoride varnish, sealants, fillings, pulpotomy, simple extractions, nitrous oxide, and other advanced restorative treatment.

Cleanings
Routine exams and cleanings are the most important part of maintaining a healthy mouth. At each routine checkup, teeth are cleaned to remove plaque (bacteria) and calculus (hard plaque) that can cause gum disease and tooth decay.
Digital x-rays
Our digital x-rays use 80-90% less radiation than traditional x-rays, which means greater safety for your child. In addition, our digital imaging capabilities are captured quickly and ensure a higher quality image to facilitate proper diagnoses.
Dental Sealants
Our dental sealants can preserve your child’s teeth by protecting against cavities and active as a barrier from food and bacteria. Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay on the biting surfaces of your permanent chewing teeth.
Fillings
Small and moderate cavities can be restored with fillings.
We are a mercury-free practice and we do not place amalgam (silver) fillings. Composite (resin based, tooth colored) are aesthetically pleasing and very strong thanks to new bonding technologies.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions are only performed when removing a tooth is the best option for restoring the health of a patient’s mouth.
Infant Exams
Establishing a “dental home” for your child can begin as early as the child’s first birthday, or about 6 months after the first tooth erupts. The health of the primary teeth are essential for chewing properly to maintain good nutrition, saving space for permanent teeth, and developing good speech habits
