Providing quality dental care for kids ages 0-19 since 2005. Mandy explains the convenience of the Smiles To Go van coming to the school to provide services.

Smiles To Go Adult Dental Van

Effective June 27, 2025, the Senior Smiles to Go dental van will no longer provide services. However, it will be open for cleanings, fillings, extractions, emergency appointments, and denture adjustments for existing patients through Thursday, June 26.

This decision comes as JCHD reassesses how to best utilize limited resources in light of ongoing challenges with staffing and scheduling. Operating both pediatric and adult mobile dental programs has proven unsustainable. Expanded dental care access is now available through Compass Health and other providers throughout the county, helping to fill the gap in adult services.

The updated focus will allow JCHD to build stronger partnerships with school districts, extend services to new educational settings, and support preventive oral healthcare for children throughout Jefferson County.
