Community Smiles places an emphasis on delivery of preventative and basic restorative services, and as a result, provides the most free and highly subsidized care for our patients in these areas. All patients receive regular examinations, diagnostic x-rays, and are strongly encouraged to follow regular hygiene and periodontal maintenance schedules.
Our clinic now delivers expanded pediatric services, including fluoride treatment, protective varnishes, fillings and orthodontics.
In all, more than 150 licensed dentists and hygienists, dental assistants and medical interns combined to donate more than 6,000 volunteer hours, providing more than $2.6 million in free basic and restorative care to more than 11,100 patients during 2016.
