Kids Dental Day

A free dental clinic at First Horizon Park

In partnership with the Nashville Sounds and cityCURRENT, powered by Higginbotham, Delta Dental of Tennessee presents Kids Dental Day in the summer to give kids access to free dental screenings and cleanings. Special sports celebrities help make the day special for all of the participants.

During Kids Dental Day, kids are able to get a free screening from dentists and dental students from Meharry Medical College and Neighborhood Health. They can also schedule a follow-up appointment after their screening through Neighborhood Health.

It's important for kids to keep their healthy smiles with regular visits to the dentist! Children with tooth decay are more likely to develop immediate and long-term oral health issues. Kids Dental Day is a great opportunity for children to learn the importance of routine dental care, receive free screenings, and meet sports celebrities.

Looking to participate in 2025?

We are looking for both volunteers and local groups! Groups can include summer camps, sports teams, church groups, etc. and should have at least 2 chaperones per 10 youth.
