Ten years ago, Smiling Faces, Going Places mobile dental care program was established to meet a pressing need for expanded access to oral health care for medically underserved New York City youngsters. Through this program, 5,000 children annually receive comprehensive dental care that they would otherwise go without.

In the decade since its establishment, the Smiling Faces program has achieved great success, in the process becoming a model for other institutions across the country.
