SmileMobile dentist–Paul Phillips and dental team will provide examinations to babies (first tooth) up through high school age, pregnant/postpartum people with Apple Health and those who are uninsured.

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 45,000 patients in communities throughout Washington.
