Bright smiles strives to ensure that latino children have access to dental care & families are educated on effective oral health practices. There is no charge for these services.

The organization provides medication dispensing service and medication therapy management (mtm). Mtm goes beyond the standard counseling associated with receiving a new prescription, working directly with doctors to ensure that all medication needs are being met. Uninsured patients receive sliding scale discounts based upon income and lower priced drugs. When prices still remain too high, pharmacists aid patients in receiving medication through manufacturer patient assistance programs, which provides free medication to qualifying uninsured patients, or through the dispensing of sample medication.
