Dental laser company, Biolase, Inc., has partnered with TeamSmile to provide kids with dental care. As part of the collaboration, Biolase will treat kids with the company’s Waterlase technology. Kids who attend TeamSmile events would receive the free dental treatment.

As part of the effort, Biolase has donated iPlus Waterlase laser systems for TeamSmile’s use in providing preventive dental care to kids at no charge. TeamSmile is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which connects oral health professionals and athletic groups to provide access to dental care to kids in underserved communities.

“Through the support of BIOLASE, we are now able to perform laser dentistry at our TeamSmile events. Using Biolase’s iPlus Waterlase lasers allows our dentists to provide their services pain free and shot free,” said John McCarthy, executive director at TeamSmile. “It is a wonderful enhancement, and what a great service to the children that attend our events. We are so grateful to Biolase for their support of TeamSmile.”

With Biolase technology, TeamSmile can complete procedures minimally invasively without drilling and with less anesthetic. This is particularly helpful as the majority of procedures completed with kids are dental caries removal. 

"We are eager to help TeamSmile provide life-changing dental care procedures to underserved children in our communities at no cost," said John Beaver, president and chief executive officer at Biolase. "This partnership is an inspiring and engaging opportunity to treat children with less invasive treatments that improve their oral and overall long-term health."

TeamSmile has conducted more than 250 programs, treating more than 45,000 kids and providing more than $18 million in dental care since its inception in 2007.
