About Us
Established in 2009, Future Smiles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides vital oral health care to vulnerable youth throughout Southern Nevada.
Since our inception, Future Smiles has created smiles for more than 200,000 youth in Southern Nevada from schools in the Clark County Schools District (CCSD).
Oral health is an opportunity for all children to enjoy a life of confidence, dignity, and success. It begins by restoring their most precious asset—their smiles.
Vision
A lifetime of wellness for all ~ through education, care and service.
“Of all the forms of injustice, inequality in health care is the most shocking and inhumane”
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
