Pre-K Program
K-12 Program
The first objective is to have a licensed dentist or registered dental hygienist screen and assess each child to see if they have the following: no visible decay; visible decay; or urgent dental needs. The students with urgent dental needs are immediately referred to the school nurse with the intent of contacting parents. Smile Partners currently has two part time dentists to provide exams and recommend interim treatment.
Smiles for Life
Smiles for Life is a preventive oral health program for seniors (60+) held primarily on Fridays at the Bainbridge Island Senior Community Center. The objective for this program is to provide low-income seniors an affordable alternative for routine oral health services.
