ABOUT PIEDMONT SMILES
Piedmont Smiles
Piedmont Smiles celebrated its fourth annual free community dental day on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Liberty High School in Bealeton, Virginia.
For the past four years, this one-day, pop-up event has provided free dental care to residents of Fauquier County, Rappahannock County, and surrounding areas—offering compassionate, high-quality services to those who need it most.
This year’s event once again brought together hundreds of volunteers and dental professionals to provide health screenings, cleanings, fillings, and extractions—all at no cost to patients.
Piedmont Smiles is proudly organized by the Fauquier Free Clinic, with vital support from the Virginia Dental Association Foundation and a wide network of community partners and local businesses. Together, we continue to make every smile possible.
