Join us for the Colgate Bright Smiles Bright Futures Mobile Van Program! Kids ages 1-12 will receive a free oral health screening to check their brushing habits and look for signs of decay. Each child will get a personalized report card, which can be shared with a dentist, and a free oral care kit to help maintain healthy teeth at home.
What happens during a Mobile Dental Van visit?
When children visit the dental van they are greeted by friendly volunteers, and a reassuring environment to help make the experience enjoyable. Our van visits feature games and videos that educate and entertain children as they wait.
Colgate's mobile dental vans are 32 feet long and there are two child-sized dental chairs aboard, so we can screen two children at a time. Children up to 12 years of age can receive free dental screening with parent or guardian consent and all children get a referral to a local dentist if needed.
After the screening, children take home learning materials, Colgate® kid's toothpaste and toothbrush, and brushing instructions to help build healthy habits at home.
The Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® program currently offers eight state-of-the-art, mobile dental vans that are equipped to provide free oral health education to more than 10 million children and families in a typical year. These dental vans travel to community that are under served in United States to help raise awareness about the importance of children's oral health.
