Children’s Smile Center has officially broken ground on a new $3.5 million facility in Nixa, Missouri. This expansion—formerly referred to as Project Dance—will allow the nonprofit to increase its operatories from 6 to 9, add 7 new staff members (bringing the total to 21), and establish a new administrative office. The facility will expand access to dental care for children on Medicaid across Christian County.

Dental offices are recognized economic drivers—creating indirect jobs in other industries and generating local spending. For every 3 jobs added in a dental office, one more is typically created in a different sector. Additionally, $8,400 is spent locally for every $40,000 in payroll.
