Description:  Special Olympics Special Smiles is a non-intrusive dental screening. It provides athletes with hygiene education to help ensure they are doing an adequate job of brushing and flossing, as well as nutritional education to understand how their diet affects their total health. The athletes also are provided with a list of dentists/clinics in their area who will treat patients with special needs, should they have difficulty finding a dentist.

Criteria for Clinical Director: In Florida for Special Smiles , a local volunteer clinical director can be a licensed dentist or dental hygienist. Licensed dentists and licensed dental hygienist can perform the actual screening. It is preferred that a dentist is on site at every screening but is not mandatory.
