Appointments will take about 10-15 minutes, and we will see 6 athletes at a time. Appointments will occur every 15 minutes from 10 AM - 11:45 AM (the last appointment available starts at 11:45 AM) and then we will re-open at 1 PM - 2:45 PM (the last appointment available starts at 2:45 PM).
The Special Smiles® discipline of Healthy Athletes provides comprehensive oral health care information, including free dental screenings and instructions on correct brushing and flossing techniques to Special Olympics athletes. Volunteer dental health professionals and students perform oral health screenings, oral hygiene instruction, mouthguard adaptation, and apply fluoride varnish for athletes participating in the screening. Special Smiles has demonstrated remarkable success in creating awareness and improving access to dental care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
