Smiles For All 2025: Recap!

We're back!

After a brief two-year hiatus, Smiles For All has returned for the 8th time, offering free dental care to South San Francisco and nearby communities! This year, we provided free dental exams followed by either a free cleaning or tooth extraction. Patients began arriving bright and early at 7 AM, eagerly awaiting the start of the event!

Big thanks to our volunteers, hygienists, dental assistants, staff, patients, family, and friends, we were able to deliver over $47,645 in dental services to 107 individuals in our Bay Area community!

Welcoming Our Partner, Magic Toothbus!

We like to extend our congratulations to our partner, Magic Toothbus, for their success at the event. This was our first collaboration, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner! Magic Toothbus brought their mobile dentistry clinic and offered free dental screenings, fluoride varnish, and oral hygiene education for children and teens under 18. Their team and volunteers were fully prepared and eager to bring smiles to the kids' faces!

Their dedication and passion for making a positive impact in the community were truly inspiring. Throughout the event, families expressed their gratitude for the services provided, and it was heartwarming to see the excitement in the children's eyes as they learned about dental tips in a fun and engaging way. We look forward to many more collaborations with Magic Toothbus in the future!

Our partner Magic Toothbus certainly brought delighted smiles to the kids faces! Our hygienist Lailani even took part in the action!
