The Washington Dental Service Foundation SmileMobile visited Kent this week, part of its travels throughout the state offering dental services to children who might not otherwise have access to dental care.

The 39-foot-long unit spent the week at Kent Elementary School, 24700 64th Ave S., and will be at the school for a second full week, May 1-5.

The foundation is a nonprofit organization created and partially funded by Delta Dental of Washington in partnership with Seattle Children’s Hospital. The SmileMobile, which provides services ranging from exams and preventive care to fillings and minor oral surgery, has examined and treated more than 40,000 youngsters in communities throughout the state.

To make an appointment or to obtain more information, call 1-888- 286-9105.
