About this organization
Mission
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile offers children professional dental care their families would otherwise not be able to afford. Since 2002, weve provided more than 55,000 dental appointments for over 25,000 at-risk children.
About
The mission of the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile of the Ozarks, fondly known as the "Tooth Truck" is to provide dental treatment and prevention education for children who qualify for the free and reduced school lunch program and have no access to care due to financial and transportation challenges. We provide dental services on a mobile dental clinic, primarily in school-based settings, and a qualified child is never turned away due to lack of Medicaid coverage. Throughout the process, our goal is to complete every childs treatment plan and do everything possible to increase each childs self esteem. The Tooth Truck is a joint project between RMHC of the Ozarks Inc and the Tooth Truck, Inc. and has provided 55,317 dental appointments for 24,542 children since July 8, 2002. This dental treatment is valued at $15,626,783. In 2018, the Tooth Truck provided $1.4 million in dental treatment for 1,503 children through 2,528 dental appointments. The Tooth Truck launched a daily onsite Tooth-brushing Program for early childhood education students at one school in 2011. By the end of 2018, 3,753 children were participating in the program at 27 schools and 8 nonprofit organizations. The program was formally named the Healthy Smiles Academy in 2015 and will continue to be expanded over 4 years, thanks to a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health in late 2014.
