Who We Are

Orange Smiles is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides comprehensive dental care to vulnerable populations in the County of Orange, who would otherwise have lack of access to services. For far too long, oral care has been seen as a luxury rather than a necessity. Vulnerable individuals prioritize their needs based on lack of funds, choosing between seeking dental care or putting food on the table. Now more than ever, we recognize the correlation between oral health, overall systemic health, and socioeconomic advancement opportunities. It is increasingly important to lessen oral health discrepancies and provide an option for those who would otherwise have none. As an organization aimed at lessening this health discrepancy and increasing oral health literacy, we strive to promote a standard of care and enhance the individuals’ access to oral health, regardless of their socioeconomic circumstances.

How We Work

Orange Smiles partners with local, in-county dental offices and community sites to sponsor dental treatments for those in our own communities. Through a referral system initiated by a dental office or community center liaison, patients can be eligible for care at no cost to them.
