In the U.S., Colgate currently funds eight community mobile vans as part of the Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® program.

Throughout the year, we bring the Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® program to local areas by organizing and participating in community events. Our "van visits" feature engaging games and videos that educate and entertain children as they await their free dental screening.

Our free visual screaming are conducted inside Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® mobile dental vans by volunteer dental professionals and generally do not include preventative care. Parents and guardians receive screening results, a referral to local dentists if needed, and children take home their own Colgate® toothbrush and toothpaste to help build healthy habits at home.

Our scheduled mobile dental van visits, education materials, dental screenings and treatment referrals are free to children as a part of Colgate's ongoing commitment to improving oral health among children.
