About The Position

Smile Pennsylvania, a school-based mobile dental practice, is seeking a general dentist in Philadelphia, PA and the surrounding areas to help provide dental care to underserved children at their school.

Smile Programs…the mobile dentists is the nation’s leading in-school dental program, founded over two decades ago by two moms who are also dentists. They identified a significant need among underserved school-aged children lacking easy access to dental care, often suffering from poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, and pain. The program brings care directly to schools, transforming classrooms, auditoriums, gyms, or other suitable areas into fully functional dental offices for the day using state-of-the-art portable equipment and the latest technology, including digital radiography. Annually, Smile Programs provides preventive and restorative dental care to over 500,000 children from coast to coast.
