Colgate Smile Van Visits Harmony Public Schools Across North Texas
Mobile dental program brings free screenings, oral health education and care kits to elementary students this spring

Colgate’s iconic Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® Smile Van has been on the road and making stops at Harmony Public Schools across North Texas this spring.
The mobile dental van, part of Colgate’s long-running oral health education program, has served hundreds of Harmony students in Pre-K through fifth grade through on-campus visits designed to make preventive dental care more accessible and convenient for families.
This spring, the Colgate Smile Van visited multiple Harmony campuses, including Harmony Science Academy-Plano and Harmony School of Innovation-Euless. At each stop, students had the opportunity to receive a quick, painless dental screening from a licensed dental professional in a familiar and safe school setting.
Colgate’s Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® program has reached more than 1 billion children in over 80 countries since its launch. The North Texas tour continues that mission by promoting oral health education and early intervention, particularly in underserved communities.
In addition to screenings, each participating student received a free dental report card, a toothbrush, toothpaste and educational materials to take home and share with their families.
