Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

Efficient, friendly, flexible, and prompt! The hygienist came in to greet the office staff first thing in the morning. A few times I walked by the room where they were set up, and for a mobile unit it is an extremely professional set up. It was a pleasant experience for the staff and children. Thank you for a wonderful service to the community and children. Catherine Aldrich Administrative Assistant

The team took extra time with a special needs student that I didn’t think would cooperate. They were able to reassure her, and provided care quickly and painlessly. Cindy School Nurse

Thanks again for coming and seeing our students! We appreciate the professionalism, kind words, and dental teaching you provided them! The program is so easy to work with and all went well and ran smoothly! Sharon Chura Certified School Nurse, Purchase Line School District

The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done. Gladys Fonua Administrative Assistant

Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile. Nicolas Perez Principal, Cheltenham Elementary

The Big Smiles dental crew were great! They were all terrific with the kids and worked hard to see everyone. They ended up treating 75 of our students that otherwise may not have been to a dentist. There is just no way to express how happy that makes me! I look forward to having them back! Erin Bonham RN, School Nurse

Smile Illinois has been visiting AFL for a number of years now. It gives our students a great opportunity for a dental check up and cleaning. The dental staff are very helpful and professional. Thank you for coming! Gretchen Hogan RN, School Nurse

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive! Steve Basnight Principal

The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them. Charlotte Morris School Nurse

This service was wonderful. I would gladly recommend it to any other program. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Jessica Davis, RN, RDH Health and Community Services Manager
