Volunteer Opportunity Update: 425 Smiles Event Cancelled for 2025

Thank you for your interest and past volunteer participation in our 425 Smiles program. It has been an honor to serve our community with your help!

Unfortunately, due to challenges with PMI’s program credentials and affiliations, as well as the timing of PMI board exams and the Seattle/King County Clinic occurring the same weekend (see below), we regret to inform you that we are unable to host our 425 Smiles event in 2025. While this is beyond our control, we are already planning to bring back this event stronger in 2026.

In the meantime, we want to share another community health volunteer opportunity happening on the same weekend our event was previously scheduled:

If you would like to stay connected or update your volunteer email on file, please feel free to reply to this email.

For any questions, you can reach us at Community@425Dental.com.

We look forward to partnering with you again in the future.

Best regards,
The 425 Dental Team

Time: 6:45 AM set up | clinic 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Following the event you can hear and participate in the following:

  • Q&A about anything you’d like to know about private practice
  • Chat with 425 Dental Team, UW Dental School Faculty/Students, PMI RDH Program Faculty/Students

Please note that volunteer spaces are limited, and volunteers MUST confirm their participation closer to the event date in order to ensure that all of our student volunteers are able to get as much experience on the day of the event as possible. Those interested may sign up on a first come, first served basis. Additional volunteers will be added to a waitlist. If any volunteer does not promptly confirm their intent to participate, we will refer to our waitlist to fill that volunteer slot.
