Kool Smiles opened in 2002 with the clear mission to provide urgently needed care for underserved kids living in our community.

To continue this mission, we are looking for qualified, energetic team members who share this vision and want to make a difference in the lives of their patients.

Kool Smiles is a general dentistry group that is providing kids and their parents in underserved communities with the dental care they desperately need. Our offices are brand new and equipped with modern technology such as digital x-rays and electronic dental records. Despite the United States' status as the wealthiest country in the world, only 1 in 5 children in low-income families receives dental care, primarily due to a lack of participating providers in the Medicaid system. As a result, the Surgeon General has concluded that oral care is the #1 unmet healthcare need for children in this country. The alarming state of oral health in low-income children today is the foundation on which we have built our mission, purpose and vision.
