Special Olympics Special Smiles

The MDA needs volunteers for this event at the Special Olympics State Games! The Special Smiles dental screenings are used as a means to increase awareness of the state of the athletes' oral health for the athletes themselves, as well as their parents and/or caregivers. At a Special Smiles screening, Special Olympics athletes are provided with the following, and more:

• Hygiene education to help ensure they are doing an adequate job of brushing and flossing
• "Goody bag" containing toothbrush, toothpaste and floss
• Free mouth guards (at most locations) for athletes competing in contact or high-risk sports
• Volunteer Today!
