Volunteer For Smiles For All 2025

After a brief pause in 2024, we’re excited to announce the return of Smiles For All on Sunday, September 21st, 2025!

Thanks to our incredible patients, volunteers and generous donors, we provided vital free dental care to 110 patients in 2023. This year, we’re eager to make an even greater impact — and we’d love for you to be part of it!

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, South San Francisco Dental Care will host its 8th annual, Smiles for All, a day of free dental care. Following a screening examination, patients over 18 years of age may receive a cleaning or extraction at no cost. Dental screenings, fluoride varnish and hygiene education will be available for minors under 18 years of age. No appointments necessary. Patients will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis. We will treat as many patients as possible, depending on capacity. Doors open 8:00am.

Sign-up to volunteer and help make a difference in someone's life! No clinical experience necessary.

We are seeking full-day and partial day volunteers:
