Miles of smiles is coming to Smithville School District!
February 14th – February 29th
Miles of Smiles is a full service dental program that provides FREE comprehensive dental care to children in the Northland. This free service is made available through private donations and Missouri Medicaid funding. If your child participates in the program, their dental care will be provided on site, in the school, by a Missouri licensed dentist. Whether you have insurance or not, Miles of Smiles provides a full service dental program including cleanings, x-rays, fillings, crowns, pulpotomies and extractions, for free. Follow up appointments are available in our office Monday through Friday, all year long.
At Miles of Smiles we strive to follow the proper guidelines stated by OSHA, CDC, and the ADA. In accordance with new recommendations we have added some additional equipment to help with the safety and protection of our patients and staff. For further details or if you have any questions please contact our office.
You might be surprised at how flexible the income guidelines are. If your annual family income is below $60,000.00 for a family of four, you will qualify for Miles of Smiles.
No co-pays and no deductibles to meet!
Patient registration forms can be completed online from a smartphone, a computer, or you can contact the school and ask to be provided with a paper copy. Please include all of the the necessary information on your childs’ form, including but not limited to: Health History, Allergies, and any concerns you have. Please remember in order for your child to be seen we will need all three parent signatures signed on the form. Please have the form completed by February 12th.

Once the dentist has left the school, we are still your dentist. You can call our office and schedule an appointment any time. We hope you will consider us your dental home and visit us on a regular basis. We will return to the school around the same time next year. Thank you for participating in the Miles of Smiles dental program.
