TeamSmile takes a unique approach to delivering care by partnering with professional sports teams and major college athletic departments to set up large-scale dental clinics in major stadiums and arenas throughout the country. Additionally, TeamSmile brings a combination of players, cheerleaders, mascots, a DJ, and face painters to create a special experience for the children who attend TeamSmile dental clinics, which has served more than 40,000 children and provided more than $17 million in free dental care and oral health education in its 15-year history.

“Since inception, Henry Schein has been integral to the success of TeamSmile,” said John McCarthy, Executive Director, TeamSmile. “We are proud of our continued partnership with Team Schein, and the impact we have together made to help tens of thousands of children nationwide. We will continue to work diligently to make a positive impact on children in need, one child at a time, and are grateful and thankful for the support and partnership from Henry Schein.”

According to the CDC, “increased efforts to more effectively integrate dental programs focused on prevention, screening, and risk assessment within primary care…should be pursued to expand access to oral health services for vulnerable populations.”
