Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County
We believe every child deserves a healthy smile. With one in three Orange County children suffering from tooth decay and 1 in 10 going without dental care, we provide treatment and education to children through our two clinics and our prevention and outreach programs. Mission Statement: As a community-based nonprofit organization, Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County (Healthy Smiles) is dedicated to empowering all children to lead healthy and happy lives. To realize this vision, our mission is to reduce oral disease in children through collaborative programs aimed at prevention, education, treatment, and advocacy. Founded in 2003, Healthy Smiles was initiated by community leaders who believed that early access to dental care is critical to a child’s positive development and well-being.
