Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile. Nicolas Perez Principal, Cheltenham Elementary
We love having you come to our school. Your staff is great! Mandy Powell Secretary, Centennial Elementary School
Dr. Ash and her team have a fabulous rapport with our children, and explain everything at their level so they understand the procedures. No fear or crying at all, and for K-2, that’s saying something! We really love this service and it is much needed in our community. Thank You! Michelle Hagglund Registered Nurse
I was very pleased with the professionalism of the team. They were very caring and it was the best dental experience. Keep up the outstanding work! Kate Haenig Social Worker
The dental team has a wealth of expertise in pediatric dentistry and ensures students have a comfortable experience. They eliminate the fear some students may have of going to the dentist. The team also informs me of the most severe cases, so I may follow up with the parents to ensure restorative care is executed. Sharon Wingfield Assistant Principal, Horace Mann Academy
This is such a wonderful program…the children ask frequently when the dentist is coming back! We are such a rural area that the closest dental facility that accepts some insurance programs is 90 minutes away. That means a full day of missed work for the parent, a full day of missed school for the student, and a very long drive. Thank you so much! Susan O’Bier RN, Northumberland Elementary School
It is always a pleasure working with this program. The staff are very friendly and self sufficient. We’re grateful to be able to provide this service to our students who would otherwise possibly go without dental care. Tanya School Nurse, Bibich Elementary
Very flexible with our special needs students! Margie Rossander, RN School Nurse, Canterbury Elementary
We love Big Smiles! So many of our kids would go without any dental care without it. They are wonderful with the kids and we could not be more pleased with the service. Angel Goldberg, RN School Nurse, Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary School
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Smile Program. The friendly service the team provides helps to fill the gap in access to oral health care for children under age 5 in our community. Katrina Harwood WIC Director, Marion Public Health
