An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Great job Big Smiles Dental! D. Williams, Coordinator
We have worked with the staff for several years now, and have always been pleased with the service and professionalism displayed. I hope we can keep them for many years to come. LaTonya Maxwell, Family Support Counselor
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
This service was one of the best resources that our school could have used. There are always so many students who don’t have a dentist and the parents don’t know where to go to get help for those students who need dental help. It’s so great that the dental team can come to the school to service the students. The school staff and parents thank Smile Programs so much for coming to help our students. Natasha Mayweather, RN, School Nurse Holy Family School
The Smile Programs Dental Program is great! This program helps children to be relaxed about seeing the dentist and taking care of their teeth. The dental teams work well together and are supportive of each other. I like this program and wish you much success with helping children and our local school district. Brigitte James, Registrar Langdon Elementary School
I am very pleased that some of our students opted to participate because this very well may be the only dental visit they get. Thank you! Brittani Christman, School Nurse River Elementary
This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work! Jenny Saylor Farmer, FRYSC Coordinator Cumberland Elementary FRYSC
The staff put the students at ease. The program helps to reduce the time students have to miss school and parents miss work. Beverly L. Taylor, CHN
Everyone was courteous and professional. The team was able to finish early and they were great with the children. Thank you for another great experience! Cortney Williams-Loyd, Site Coordinator Ezra Jack Keats Pre-K Center
Working with the staff at the Mobile Dentists office was very easy. They were very accommodating when choosing a visit date and were very efficient while processing the students’ permission forms. The staff from the Little Smiles New Jersey program that came to Mastery McGraw Elementary School were wonderful. They were prompt with their arrival and were very professional and friendly with the students and staff at our school. They saw 22 students at the visit and each student benefited from the work the dentist and dental hygienist did on their teeth. We have already scheduled our next visit for the fall and cannot wait to have the mobile dentists back at McGraw to see and help more of our students. Thank you! Chelsea Trach RN, BSN, School Nurse
I always like having the Mobile Dentists come to my school, because I am so amazed they are able to see all our little ones and we never have a screaming episode. Everyone is always looking forward to seeing the Dentist. I never have parents displeased with the services or how they were conducted. I wish you would consider giving us one day of adult check ups! Yvette Franklin, Health Professional
It is a great way to give the children dental service at no cost to parents, because sometimes our parents don’t have the money, nor the transportation to get them to the dentist. Sonia De La Torre, SAA
Our Carnell School Family truly appreciated the dental services that you provide to our scholars here at school. Your team works in harmony getting the children screened and then providing the needed services. We hope to continue seeing Mobile Dentists here at Carnell Elementary in the years to come. Vanessa Faine, School Nurse
We love having you come to our school. Your staff is great! Mandy Powell, Secretary Centennial Elementary School
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
This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview Elementary School
I can only say great things about Sherrie. She is awesome with the clients here, and all of the clients ask if she will be returning in 6 months. Dr. Reisinger is great also, and will see all of the clients scheduled that day even if he has over 100 sealants. The restorative team is great also. Shalonda Allen, Patient Care Coordinator
Excellent service! Thank You! Kathleen Perry, RN, School Nurse
The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist. Paula J. McCarthy, RN, School Nurse

The services were absolutely beneficial for my school, and assisting my families with obtaining the services needed. I also thought the tooth brushing demonstration was great! Stephanie L. Thomas, CHN/RN
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
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus. Ms. Klein, School Nurse
Smile New York is a wonderful in-school dental prevention program. Our students were engaged and excited about the dentist visiting. It was beneficial to have so many of our students receive dental health services and walk out with clean and treated teeth. The dental staff was caring, supportive, and professional. Our overall experience was great! Audra Jimenez, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services
What a great program! I would encourage all schools, especially elementary schools, to try it out! Megan Bounds, RN, Director of Health Services Lima-Brighton Elementary School
The Mobile Dentists program is such an asset to my students in delivering dental health care, helping to keep absenteeism down, and health habits up! I will definitely have the Mobile Dentists visit our school again! Chris Musial, MS, RN, NJ-CSN, NCSN, School Nurse
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community! Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
It’s so refreshing to continue to work with such passionate, caring, professionals! The staff are always patient and helpful. They do whatever they can to provide quality dental care to as many students as possible. Lisa A. Knight, RN, Registered 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 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
This was our first visit from the Smile Programs team and we were extremely pleased with the services we received. The team was on time, professional, patient, and kind with our children. I am looking forward to our 6 month follow up and hope that our participation will continue to increase. Wendy Adams, LPN, Health Services Coordinator
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
The dentist and hygienists were very thorough seeing students. Many students told the nurse how nice they were and it “didn’t hurt at all!” They took time with the students and were not trying to hurry them out the door. Our students had many dental issues…having this service available has been wonderful! We even had students from other schools in our district the dentist previously saw that were having issues. They immediately saw the student and addressed the concern! Rachel Lee, RN, School Nurse
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
You have wonderful, patient staff, that are very friendly. I hope Montlieu’s hospitality was warm and inviting. Thanks for all you do for our students here at the ‘Lieu’! Marsha C. Erwin, CIS Student Support Specialist Montlieu Academy of Technology/CIS
Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome. Blair, Registered Nurse
