The founders saw a tremendous need among underserved school aged children in New York who did not have easy access to dental care and who often suffered from poor oral hygiene tooth decay pain and associated medical problems. Knowing that many parents could not take their children to the dentist due to issues including time off from work and transportation challenges they sought to bring the care to the need. Today through its dental partners Smile New York Outreach provides preventive and restorative care to children throughout the State of New York.

Tooth decay is the most common and preventable disease among children more common than fact each year over 51 million school hours are lost due to oral health related issues.
