MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Giving Smiles is a non-profit dental services charity which seeks to improve access to dental services for Middle Tennessee residents who are poor, have limited resources, or other barriers to care. We hope to bridge the gap in availability of quality dental care by bringing affordable or free dentistry to the communities in need. Dental services are provided using a well-equipped mobile dental clinic and portable dental equipment. We strive to achieve our goal of providing compassionate, quality dentistry, oral health education, and preventive care to those in need with volunteer support and strategic partnerships with other community non-profit organizations.
