"As we come to better understand the need for regular healthcare, I'm glad that Kool Smiles is providing this opportunity for affordable, quality dental care here in Texarkana," said State Representative Stephen Frost. "It's been shown that preventative dental care helps families reduce costs to their healthcare over the long term. By accepting both private and publicly-funded insurance such as Texas Health Steps and Texas CHIP, Kool Smiles is a model for a public-private partnership. I'm pleased that our families in the Texarkana area will now have greater access to dental care programs."
Kool Smiles provides a dental home for thousands of children across the country, in an effort to answer what the Surgeon General called one of the greatest unmet health needs in children: oral health. Dental caries (tooth decay) is the single most common childhood disease - 5 times more common than asthma and 7 times more common than hay fever. With Kool Smiles,( )both children and parents are able to address these issues in a fun, accessible, kid-friendly environment staffed with knowledgeable and compassionate dental experts.
"Kool Smiles was founded with the vision of providing access to quality dental care in communities that have traditionally been underserved. Our expansion into Texarkana provides yet another opportunity for our dentists to reverse the alarming oral health care trends among the families that need dental health services the most," states Dr. David Strange, Chief Dental Officer for Kool Smiles. "We are honored to become part of the Texarkana community and look forward to partnering with the area schools, daycare centers, and local social service agencies to ensure the importance of oral health is communicated to each of the families in our newest service area.
Kool Smiles of Texarkana is located at 2400 Richmond Road, Suite 133 in the Central Mall, Texarkana, TX, 75503
