Kids In Need of Dentistry (KIND) is a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality, affordable dental care to children in need throughout Colorado. Since 1912, KIND has helped thousands of children each year get the dental services they need at a cost their families can afford.
Kids In Need of Dentistry has been dedicated to bridging the gap for low income families struggling to provide quality dental care and education for their children since 1912. In 2007, 540,000 elementary school hours were missed due to tooth pain. A child with a toothache can’t eat properly, misses out on much needed sleep, and struggles to concentrate in school. When Jane’s daughter began complaining of a toothache and refused to eat, she drove her 2 hours to see the dentist on our mobile dental clinic, Miles For Smiles. The second grader had several abscesses that were causing her much pain and needed care quickly. Her visit to KIND provided her with the care she needed to get back to the business of being a healthy 7 year old. KIND has been saving smiles in Colorado for 100 years!
