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 9:00am-1:00pm at 2100 W 55th St. S., Wichita, KS 67217. We ask that volunteers arrive no later than 8 am to begin training prior to the screening.
Catered lunches will be provided for ALL general and clinical volunteers on the day of the screening. Your clinical director will release you for your lunch break once the lunches arrive.
If you have any questions regarding the event, please email your Healthy Athletes contact, Rhae Burt, at burtr@soks.org
