The Miles of Smiles Inc. Portable

income children in Clay and Platte Counties. Since then, we’ve treated

two dentists and four dental assistants who provide treatment on-site,
in schools, and at other social service organizations. All services are
free to Clay and Platte county children who meet the income guidelines.
