What is TeamSmile™?
TeamSmile™ is a non-profit organization that teams up with major sports organizations to provide quality dental care to underserved populations, while encouraging volunteerism within the dental community. With the help of local dental professionals, Henry Schein Dental, Colgate®, and select dental insurance companies and manufacturers, TeamSmile provides free oral health education, screening, and treatment (plus free tickets to one of the hosting team’s home games!) for children who might not otherwise receive it.

Our Mission
