Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

Excellent service to our students!

Dr. Beverley Martin Assistant Principal

We were very impressed with the organization and efficiency of the dental program. What a great service! Having programs such as these provides great benefits and service to our students and is very much appreciated!

Bridget C. Lucardie, MSN, RN School Nurse

Professional and friendly staff that are easy and understanding to work with. Overall, kids are excited when they come.

Tanya Ange School Nurse, John Small Elementary School

As always, we are very happy with your service. Your friendliness and professionalism is outstanding!

Mary Beth Delano Registered Nurse, Cople Elementary

he dental team arrived on time and had their equipment set up and ready to go promptly. They were very professional and explained everything that was going to happen to the students before they began their individual tasks. We had some first time students who had never been seen by the program before, and they put those students as well as the others at ease. We would recommend them to any school. They were kind and welcoming to everyone, including staff who stopped in to see how the program works, and volunteers who helped coordinate the flow of students back and forth from the classrooms for treatments.

Patricia Holston, RN School Nurse

Thank you for coming and providing your services to ensure the dental requirements and health of our children are met at Head Start!

Valerie Dierckman Health Specialist II

The dental team made the visit extremely easy for the office. They had a list of all the students to be seen with teacher names. All I needed to do was provide a location, room numbers, and a daily schedule. They were all very professional.

Michelle Siegeler School Administrative Assistant

Very flexible with our special needs students!

Margie Rossander, RN School Nurse, Canterbury Elementary

The Smile Illinois mobile dentists is an excellent program! The dentist and staff are so good at what they do, and are wonderful with the kids. I think this is a wonderful program that benefits our students a great deal!

Gina VanCleave RN, BSN

A pleasure to work with your staff! They were very accommodating to our classroom schedules. Dr. Jewell and the dental assistants and hygienist were wonderful with the students. We had a great three days, and we were able to let their parents know if further dental care was needed. Thanks so much!
