UF Dentistry Saving Smiles Fund

Mission: To promote the oral health of Alachua County’s children through no-cost dental outreach programs focused on education, disease prevention, and accessibility.

The UF College of Dentistry Saving Smiles Program collaborates with community partners to deliver no-cost, prevention-focused dental services to children and families who face challenges in accessing oral health care. Dental treatments are provided for pediatric patients ages 6 months to 17 years old. The Saving Smiles Program utilizes portable dental equipment to provide oral health care on-site at schools and community centers, primarily in East Gainesville and rural areas of Alachua County.
