Smile Club

What is the Smile Club?

The Smile Club is a one-chair dental clinic located inside the Boys & Girls Club of Portage County's Berard Center. Smile Club serves children who are in need of a dental home, have no insurance, or have Medicaid coverage, all at no charge to families (Medicaid is billed for those who are eligible).

At the Smile Club, kids will be seen by a dental hygienist for oral health education and preventive services, including cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and x-rays. If needed,  kids will also be seen by a dentist who will provide dental exams at no charge to families. If the dentist determines the. child is in need of restorative care, they will be referred to Noble Community Clinic in Stevens Point.


How can I sign my child(ren) up for Smile Club dental services?

Signing up for Smile Club dental services is included as part of the membership application, which can be found online through the Caregiver Portal. If you are not a Boys & Girls Club member but would still like to participate in Smile Club, please contact Noble Community Clinics.

Why participate in the Toothbrushing Program?

Regular toothbrushing is important for both children and adults because it removes bacteria and plaque that cause tooth decay and gum disease. It is recommended that everyone brush their teeth twice a day – every morning and before bed. Youth might forget to brush their teeth, but the Toothbrushing Program is here to help keep smiles healthy!


The program will provide a valuable tool for reinforcing good oral health and help reduce painful cavities. Each child will also learn the importance of brushing their teeth.

  • Each child will receive their own toothbrush.
  • Children will brush their teeth after breakfast or morning snack in groups.
  • Each toothbrush will be sanitized daily in -the Boys & Girls Club’s UV sanitizer.
