Smile Keepers: Healthy Smiles for a Brighter Future!

A healthy smile is an important part of a child's overall well-being. At Smile Keepers, we are dedicated to providing essential dental care and education to children in our community, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to shine with a healthy smile.

For over two decades, the Smile Keepers dental program has been a trusted partner for families in Tuolumne County. We are proud to serve nearly 4,800 children annually in schools and preschools across the county, and our services are made possible entirely through grant funding. Our mission is simple: to provide preventive dental services and education to keep your child's smile bright and healthy.

What We Offer:

Our friendly and experienced team of dental professionals provides a range of services designed to protect your child's teeth and promote lifelong healthy habits. Our services include:

• Preventive Dental Education: We believe that knowledge is power! We teach children about the importance of good oral hygiene in a fun and engaging way.

• Dental Screenings: Our gentle dental screenings help identify potential issues early on so they can be addressed before they become bigger problems.

• Fluoride Varnish Applications: Fluoride varnish is a safe and effective way to protect your child's teeth from cavities. This quick and painless application provides long-lasting protection.

• Referrals for Dental Care: If we identify a need for further dental treatment, we will provide you with a referral to a local dental provider and help you navigate the process of getting the care your child needs.

Our Satellite Dental Offices:

We are excited to be at the forefront of dental care with our satellite dental office program. In partnership with MACT Health & Dental, we have established a satellite dental office at Tenaya Elementary in Groveland, with more locations coming soon! This innovative program allows us to provide a full range of preventive dental services right at your child's school, minimizing time away from the classroom. This partnership allows us to expand our services and ensure our program is at the cutting edge of children's dental care.

Our Team:

Our dedicated team is here to support you and your child every step of the way. We have a team of Registered Dental Assistants, Registered Dental Hygienists in Alternative Practice, and a Care Coordinator ready to answer your questions and provide the best possible care for your child.
