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

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

The dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.

The staff that comes to our school is excellent. They are so good with the kids and our teachers.
Barbara Gray Clinic Aide, Northwestern Elementary School

We love the Smile Programs dental program. It gives our children who do not have access to good dental care a chance to see a great dentist work. We have many children who have never seen a dentist before. These children now have access to a great service.

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!
