Good Smiles at Goodwill is helping Arkansans smile brighter—literally. The program provides free dental care to Goodwill employees addressing one of the most com- mon barriers to employment: oral health. Through clean- ings, extractions and restorative care, participants gain not only healthier smiles but also renewed confidence to pursue their career goals. By removing this financial and physical barrier, Good Smiles strengthens Goodwill’s mis- sion of changing lives through education, training, and employment.
