The Trenton location opened in October 2020 at 101 N Broad St, on the Mercer County Community College (MCCC) campus, as part of a partnership to serve the local community. The clinic offers a wide array of dental services focused on prevention, intervention, and education. Services include routine check-ups and cleanings, fillings, extractions, and other restorative procedures. A significant part of their work is oral health education, which they provide to patients and their families in an interactive and age-appropriate manner. This is crucial to their vision of eradicating preventable dental diseases. A key feature of the KinderSmile Community Oral Health Center is its commitment to accessibility. The clinic accepts all forms of Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare, as well as most private dental insurance plans. For those who are uninsured, they offer an affordable fee schedule. While the foundation's primary focus is on children, the Trenton dental home also welcomes adults, making it a hub for comprehensive family dental care. Beyond the physical clinic, KinderSmile Foundation also operates a mobile clinic and various community outreach programs. These initiatives bring oral health education and preventive services directly to schools, community centers, and other partner organizations, further expanding their reach to those who need it most.
