Smiles United is a school-based preventive and restorative dental program that provides care for uninsured and underinsured individuals of all ages. The program improves the oral health and well-being for patients from birth to 100+ years of age by providing cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants by way of a mobile dental unit. "Smiles" was launched in 2009 and typically brings its mobile dental unit directly to all area school districts across the Iron Range and Koochiching County; however due to COVID-19 precautions, the program is currently being held from community sites only (UWNEMN in Chisholm & KOOTASCA in Grand Rapids).
