Kris speaks to a woman at a desk regarding a patient.

KRIS: She has a little bit of anterior, and she needs to get scheduled for... braces.

Children and parents sit in a waiting room with play blocks stacked on a table in the middle of the room.

KRIS: These parents are impoverished. They cannot take time off of work. It's almost impossible for them to get into a clinic on a regular basis.

Kris continues speaking to the camera.

Kris examines a patient and speaks with her as she looks at her teeth in a handheld mirror.

KRIS: So let's talk to your mom, okay? Okay, so at least you can consider braces and start thinking about it for me, okay?

A boy stacks play blocks in a waiting room as other children and parents wait.

KRIS: A lot of our impoverished parents would like to bring their kids in, but the other piece of it is, their dental literacy is low. If they understood what problems come with dental, they would try even harder, but they don't.

Kris continues speaking to the camera.

A woman shakes Kris' hand as he talks to her and her daughter.

KRIS: They want to do everything for these kids, but they don't really understand that baby teeth are important.

NICOLE: UnitedHealthcare's empowering health commitment is our commitment to improving the health of vulnerable communities by addressing the social determinants of health and through expanding access to care.

A shot zooms along the street where the Mobile Dental Clinic is parked.

NICOLE: We're specifically choosing to fund safe net dental providers who provide critical access to care for low-income children and adults, because addressing a child's dental care needs when they are children has an impact on their entire health and over their lifetime as an adult.

Kris continues speaking to the camera.

KRIS: We serve 35,000 patient visits a year now.

A woman suctions a patient's teeth using dental tools.

KRIS: So that makes me feel really good that we're actually making a dent.

The girl plays with the rubber glove balloon as Kris smiles and speaks to her.

KRIS: Good to see you. I'll see you next time, okay? Bye.
