The SmileMobile dental program plans a return visit to Seaview.

The “SmileMobile,” a brightly painted 39-foot dental clinic on wheels, will visit the Long Beach Peninsula Jan. 27 to Jan. 31 and Feb. 3 to Feb. 6.

It will be located at St. Mary’s Church at 4700 Pacific Way in Seaview.

Dentists Paul Phillips and Jim Hutchinson will provide examinations to children, youth, young adults, pregnant/postpartum women, adults with Apple Health, and those who are uninsured at no cost.

To make an appointment, call 1-(888) 286-9105.

The SmileMobile is operated by the Arcora Foundation, a nonprofit group, and is funded by Delta Dental of Washington, a dental benefits company.

Karri Amundson, senior program officer with the Arcora Foundation, said poor oral health can affect chronic conditions like diabetes and heart health. “Painful cavities and visible oral disease also can impact school attendance, nutrition, employment opportunities, self-esteem and how others perceive you.”

The dentists may provide one or more of the following: examination, fluoride varnish, sealants, X-rays, simple extraction, temporary filling, and written referral. “Everyone deserves good oral and overall health.”

The SmileMobile travels the state year-round providing services ranging from exams and preventive care to fillings and minor oral surgery, and has examined and treated more than 50,000 patients in communities throughout Washington.
