Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

The dentists and dental hygienists are always friendly and very patient with the students. They give the kids positive feedback on their behavior during the exam and procedures.

Tara Lovejoy School Social Worker, Morley Stanwood Elementary

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

Very flexible with our special needs students!

Margie Rossander, RN School Nurse, Canterbury Elementary

The team was wonderful. They worked through their lunch to fit in all my students. The students and parents were so pleased with the dental care. The delivery was organized and effective, and minimally disruptive to the school day. I can’t wait to have them at our school again.

Sarah Kupchick RN, BSN, CSN

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!

Marynan Mudd Family Resource Center Coordinator

Thank you for working with our students! Your staff has always been adaptable to the conditions at our school, with a friendly, professional manner. The students who are seen are appreciative of the care you provide. Thanks so much!

Christine Novak, RN, BSN School Nurse, New Bern High School

The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.

Cynthia H. Morgan Principal, Edgemont Primary

We are very thankful for your program. We have several students who would not see a dentist if you did not come to our school. Thank you very much!

You are all great!
