Traveling Smiles Of Alabama Inc.

Traveling Smiles Of Alabama Inc. Founded in 2016 from the dream of Marvin and Brittney Washington II. On their way home , Marvin asked." I wonder how many dentists actually practice dentistry in state of Alabama? You would think a lot! " . Brittney said. "That is a good question, I not sure.".
So they started to research. To there surprise they notice the population of patients to actual working dentist was alarmingly high in many cities and counties throughout Alabama. With more research they realized there is a shortage of dentist that practice within Alabama.This means that if you are apart of the population that does not live in a major city you will have to travel great distances to the closest dentist office. They also learned that if you were part of the population that does not have dental insurance or can not afford dental insurance. There is little to no option to receive dental treatment within the state of Alabama. This means that the youth and adults of Alabama have to go with untreated dental issues and diseases.Simple things such as not getting a regular cleaning can lead to severe dental issues and diseases. In some cases, it may cause major health issues and complications.
With their fire burning they asked themselves a few simple questions! "How can we give dental treatment on a mobile platform to reach all of Alabama? How can we give future dental professionals a place to train and give back to the community? How can we give knowledge to the people of Alabama to help prevent and fight dental issues and diseases?".
These questions laid the foundation to what is now the first non profit mobile dental clinic and dental outreach in Alabama. Traveling Smiles Of Alabama Inc.!
