Affordable Dental Care for Colorado’s Children in Need

En Español

Kids in Need of Dentistry (KIND) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization that provides high-quality, affordable dental care to children in need throughout Colorado. Since 1912, we have helped thousands of children each year get the dental services they need at a cost their families can afford.

Through a network of volunteer and paid dental professionals, KIND provides comprehensive dental services, including exams, cleanings, restorative treatments, orthodontics, emergency care and specialty services to children who otherwise cannot access or afford care. KIND serves children at facilities in Denver and Colorado Springs, and in rural and underserved urban communities through our mobile Miles for Smiles dental unit.

KIND has operated for nearly a century through generous support from foundations, corporations, individuals and dental professionals. With this ongoing support, KIND leads the way to promote the oral health of Colorado’s children in need.

[Information Notice]

Each year, Kids in Need of Dentistry provides more than $1.5 million worth of comprehensive dental care to children from low-income families throughout Colorado.

8,750 total patient visits in 2007!

KINDness in Action

 

Happy Birthday Gage Andrew Voss

Gage Andrew VossFor his 8th birthday on December 2nd, Gage Andrew Voss’ friends surprised him with a party. In return, Gage's parents made a donation in the name of his friends to Kids in Need of Dentistry instead of handing out goodie bags at his party. His mom told us that, “[she] thought [making a donation to KIND] was perfect because all of Gage's friends have such kind smiles!”

A big thank you to the friends of Gage Andrew Voss for their generosity and to Gage and his family for thinking of Kids in Need of Dentistry!

This year KIND has participated in numerous health fairs across the Front Range. At these health fairs KIND provided various levels of care from providing basic information about our programs to scheduling appointments on our Miles for Smiles mobile dental unit. We spent many hours in parking lots, sports arenas, parks, schools and other community centers spreading the word about the services KIND provides and the importance of good oral health for children of all ages. We’d love to partner with additional organizations in the future in this capacity.

Please contact us at 303-733-3710 or info@kindsmiles.org to let us know about an opportunity in your area!
