nation's leading in-school dental program founded almost two
decades ago by two moms, who happen to also be dentists. 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. Knowing that many parents could not take their
children to the dentist due to issues including time off from work
and transportation challenges, they sought to bring the care to the
need. Today, through its dental partners, Big Smiles provides
preventative and restorative care to approximately 500,000 children
per year.Tooth decay is the most common, and 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.
If portable equipment is used, classrooms, auditoriums or other
school venues are literally transformed into fully functional
dental offices for the day. Our expertise, obtained through years
of experience bringing mobile dental care to schools, as well as
through our highly qualified staff, 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.Given the ongoing lack
of access for many underserved children across the country, our
services are in great demand and we are always looking for caring,
compassionate professionals to join our team and play their part in
making a difference in the lives of today's underserved
children.Rewarding Work. Competitive Compensation. Big Smiles.Big
