Help us bring oral health education to communities that are underserved

Hear from our Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® volunteers about what it means to them to help support our mission to improve the health and wellbeing in our communities.

As a dental or community volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to work with children in your community on the importance of maintaining good oral health habits. Whether you’re giving a lesson in the classroom, provide visual screenings in the vans, or just talking with children at a community event, you’ll have a chance to make a big impact.

Mobile Community Program & Volunteers

Each of our mobile dental vans is a "dental office on wheels," specially designed to help establish a friendly environment for all children. Staffed by volunteer dental professionals, our mobile dental vans feature two dental chairs and a waiting area where children learn about healthy habits.
