Expanding Access to Dental Care Where It’s Needed Most
At Parkland Smile Initiative (PSI), we recognize that oral health is foundational to overall well-being, yet many individuals and families face significant barriers in accessing dental care. These challenges are often intensified by poverty, addiction, remote living conditions, and limited local healthcare services.
Bridging the Gap
Our initiative is designed to directly address these challenges by bringing dental care and preventative education into communities that need it the most. PSI provides:
Mobile Dental Services: Delivering direct dental care on-site, removing transportation and accessibility barriers.
Preventative Education: School-based programs and community workshops that educate children and adults on proper oral hygiene practices.
Workforce Development: Training and mentoring dental health professionals committed to serving underserved communities long-term.
Community-Centered Solutions
We understand that every community has unique needs. PSI collaborates closely with local leaders, healthcare providers, and organizations to ensure our services are culturally sensitive, effective, and sustainable. By empowering communities through education, outreach, and direct service, we aim to create lasting improvements in oral health outcomes.
Long-Term Impact
Our goal is not just to provide immediate care but to build a sustainable framework for ongoing dental health within underserved communities. Through strategic partnerships, dedicated volunteers, and community involvement, PSI is committed to ensuring everyone has access to compassionate, quality dental care.
