Sutter Smiles Dental Van

The Sutter County Smiles Mobile Dental Clinic is the result of an Oral health Initiative approved by the Sutter County Children & Families Commission in January 2004.

The Commission approved funding for the purchase of a Mobile Dental Clinic and five years of funding to support the program. Sutter County Smiles is a unique collaborative effort between three organizations:

The Sutter Children & Families Commission
The Yuba City Unified School District
Peach Tree Healthcare

The Yuba City Unified School District, through a grant from the Commission, provides a bilingual parent liaison, drivers for the clinic, mechanical and maintenance support, and a secure storage location for the van. Peach Tree Healthcare provides the dentist, registered dental assistant, dental supplies and processes insurance claims for services rendered.
