Kids' Smiles​

In 2025, we proudly launched our first Kids Smiles event, a special day focused on providing preventive dental care and education to underserved children in our community. At this event, children received dental exams, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and personalized oral hygiene instruction, all at no cost to their families. Each child also took home an oral hygiene kit to support healthy habits beyond the event.

​

The true success of Kids Smiles goes beyond the care delivered that day. Our deeper mission is to create long-term change by helping children connect to ongoing dental care and establishing trusted dental homes where they can receive consistent, wraparound care that supports their health for years to come.

​

Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and community partners, Kids Smiles made a powerful impact, and we are excited to grow. Our goal is to expand these events to a quarterly schedule, reaching more children across Central Florida with the preventive care they need to thrive.

​

To make this possible, we are looking for volunteers who are passionate about improving children's health. Whether you are a dentist, hygienist, pre-dental student, or community volunteer, your support helps change lives.

​

If you are able to donate the use of your office or clinic space for a future Kids Smiles event, your generosity would help us reach even more children and connect them with the long-term care they deserve.

​

Together, we can build a healthier future, one smile at a time.

Children's Program

The  Children’s School-Based Program brings compassionate, preventive dental care directly into Title One schools across underserved communities in Central Florida.

​

By going to where children are, we remove barriers like transportation, cost, and lack of access - ensuring that every child has the opportunity to receive care. During each school visit, students receive personalized one-on-one oral hygiene instruction, dental screenings, fluoride varnish applications, and take-home oral hygiene kits with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss.

 

This program is about more than just treatment - it’s about connection. Our goal is to provide wraparound care that not only addresses immediate needs but also helps each child find a permanent dental home. By meeting children with care in their own school environment, we’re building healthier habits, healthier smiles, and healthier futures and ensuring that underserved children get the dental care that they need and deserve.

Adult's Knights Clinic

The  Adult Knight's Clinic is a critical resource providing urgent and episodic dental care to uninsured and low-income adults who often face barriers to treatment. Many of these individuals suffer from severe dental pain, infections, and swelling that require immediate attention -care that is typically unavailable in hospital emergency rooms. While ERs may provide temporary relief such as antibiotics, they cannot deliver the definitive dental treatment needed to resolve the underlying issues. This lack of dental care often leads to repeated visits, prolonged pain, and worsening health conditions.

At the Adult Knight's Clinic, we offer essential services including dental exams, x-rays, and necessary extractions to address these urgent needs. Beyond emergency relief, the clinic plays a vital role in supporting patients with serious medical conditions. Many patients diagnosed with cancer or awaiting organ transplants require thorough dental treatment and clearance before they can safely undergo life-saving medical care. Through the Adult Knight's Clinic we are able to provide this critical dental care, ensuring that these individuals are medically cleared to move forward with their treatments without added risk.

By delivering timely, quality dental care to some of the most vulnerable members of our community, the Adult Knight Clinic helps reduce unnecessary emergency room visits, alleviates pain and infection, and supports patients’ overall health and well-being - giving them the chance to pursue vital medical care and improve their quality of life.
