Brighter Smiles

Welcome to the Brighter Smiles Oral Health Program!

At Brighter Smiles, we believe every child deserves a healthy, happy smile! Our program brings oral health services right into your community with free screenings, fluoride varnish, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatments, and fun, educational activities to teach kids and families how to care for their teeth.

We partner with schools, early childhood centers, head start, daycares, and local organizations to make oral health care easy, accessible, and enjoyable—all while helping reduce cavities and promote healthy habits from an early age.

Note: While Brighter Smiles provides great preventive care, it’s NOT a replacement for regular visits to your family dentist. We always recommend seeing your dentist for full dental checkups and cleanings!

What We Offer:

  • Smile Checkups: Quick and friendly oral health screenings
  • Fluoride Varnish: A protective shield to fight cavities
  • Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): Stops cavities from getting worse
  • Oral Health Education: Fun lessons and activities to teach kids about brushing, flossing, and eating tooth-friendly foods

Let’s Keep Those Smiles Bright!

Join us in building a healthier future—one smile at a time! If you’re interested in having dental screenings at your school, daycare, or head start, contact us to bring Brighter Smiles to your location!
