Kids with Capes

Every child deserves to

SMILE

Smile Savers is the premier pediatric dental clinic, offering hospital-based care to children across Illinois, regardless of income, insurance, or zip code.

Our 
Story

Child at Outdoor Celebration

Right now, children in Southern Illinois are suffering from painful, preventable dental problems—and they have nowhere to turn.

​​

With recent Medicaid cuts, emergency rooms are seeing more kids in crisis, and many families are being turned away because there are no providers available. The Smile Savers Initiative was born out of this critical gap in care.

​

Our goal is simple: To provide life-changing dental care to children who have been left behind by the healthcare system. â€‹

 

We can’t do this without you. Your gift of just $25, $50, or $100 today, can directly help a child get the care they need and deserve.

​​

Would you be willing to help us bring a smile to a child’s face today?
