#TheSmileZone
Driven by a deep sense of purpose, our founder Dora Pesqueda set out on a mission. A mission to ensure that children in under-served communities throughout Arizona receive quality dental care and oral health education that they rightfully deserve. Throughout many years in the field of dentistry, Dora witnessed firsthand the unfortunate reality that many families and communities face each day. Families struggle to provide access to dental care and preventative services such as: dental screenings, cleanings, and oral health education. These unfortunate barriers included families of remote locations, limited access to a dentist, and their background and socioeconomic status. With an unwavering commitment to making a difference, Dora’s goal to bring an effective mobile dental outreach program has finally manifested. Dora's passion has allowed dental and convenience to meet families through comfort and ease of access.
