Our passion to help kids, especially those least able to access or afford dental care, is why our Mobile Program serves more than 2,400 kids across South Dakota every year.

The program's dental truck is a fully equipped mobile dental clinic that provides preventive, diagnostic, and restorative care. Delta Dental of South Dakota manages, operates and staffs the mobile trucks. Local community agencies act as site partners to host a truck visit, and local sponsors contribute a modest stipend for the visit. The trucks have visited 91 communities across South Dakota and provided more than $32 million in care since the program began.

Dental hygienists and community health workers based on the state's Native American reservations also provide preventive care and oral health education. This facet of the Mobile Program has provided $8 million in preventive care to 16,000 kids.

Care provided through the Mobile Program is at no cost to the child or family. No insurance is necessary.
