About
Special Smiles - Special Olympics
The Special Smiles discipline of Healthy Athletes provides comprehensive oral health care information, including free dental screenings and instructions on correct brushing and flossing techniques to Special Olympics athletes. Volunteer dental health professionals and students perform oral health screenings, oral hygiene instruction, mouthguard adaptation, and apply fluoride varnish for athletes participating in the screening. Special Smiles has demonstrated remarkable success in creating awareness and improving access to dental care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Special Smiles screenings will take place from 1:00pm-5:00pm at 1000 N 127th St E, Wichita, KS 67230. We ask that volunteers arrive no later than 12:00pm to begin training prior to the screening.
If you have any questions regarding the event, please email our Health Programs Coordinator, Svea Knight, at knights@soks.org
