Oral health plays a vital role in overall wellbeing, and in India, there’s a growing need for accessible dental care, especially for underserved populations. In response, GlaxoSmithKline Asia Private Limited, under its CSR initiative, launched the “Smile on Wheels” mobile dental project in partnership with Smile Foundation.

This initiative brings four mobile dental vans to provide free dental consultations to underprivileged communities across Delhi NCR. Two vans operate in Delhi, while one serves Gurgaon and another, initially stationed in Noida, was relocated to Agra in October 2023, starting operations in November.

These mobile units are bridging the gap in dental healthcare access, offering services directly to those who need it most. As of now, 34,514 people have benefitted from the oral health services provided by these mobile units.
