Appalachian Miles for Smiles

Appalachian Miles for Smiles is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free mobile dental care to underserved and uninsured populations in the Appalachian region, specifically East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. The organization operates a state-of-the-art mobile dental unit equipped to perform cleanings, fillings, and extractions. By partnering with local churches, community centers, and health departments, they address the significant barrier of access to oral healthcare in rural communities. Their mission focuses on improving overall health outcomes through preventative and restorative dental services. The program relies on a network of volunteer dental professionals and community support to sustain its operations.
