An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
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
I appreciate the services you provide to our school and children. Some have never been to the dentist, and other dental programs don’t service the whole school population. Thanks again! Annette M. Scott, RN, BSN, LSN, School Nurse Ironton City Schools
This is a very important program for public schools! Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
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
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community! Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
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 always appreciate timeliness and professionalism, and that is exactly what your service provided for my center. V. Carter, Administrator Ready 2 Learn Childcare Center
The staff did a wonderful job this year with the elementary and middle school students! They were friendly and very efficient with their time. They treated 40 students, which I believe was a record year for us! Andrea McGrew, District Nurse
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
I absolutely love that you are able to provide this service during normal school hours, ensuring our scholars are being seen and their dental needs cared for. Every year, your staff is always kind and efficient! Leah Martello, Dean of Scholars
The staff is warm, and they treat the kids and staff with respect. We love to have the visits from the dental staff. Elizabeth Shook, Lead School Nurse Madison County
The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them. Charlotte Morris, School Nurse
This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview 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. Charmaine Linkins, School Nurse William Beanes ES
The team is always efficient and caring. They are good with the students, especially the ones who have some anxiety. They are attentive to detail and I love having them come to the school. Janelle Burnett, School Nurse
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
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
This program goes above and beyond, and they are professional and compassionate about what they do. We are grateful for this program! Tammy Carey, Nurse
Your staff was really kid friendly! For some children this was their first experience with the dentist and the Smile Pennsylvania dental team really gave our children excellent dental services. Stephen Girard Elementary School in Philadelphia looks forward to your visits in the future. Andrea McCoy, CSN, BSN, MHed, School Nurse
The dental team was on time, friendly, and professional. Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
The staff worked extremely well with our 3-5 year old students and our autistic students. They are always pleasant, well organized, and efficient! Mary Tolmie, MSN, RN, CSN, School Nurse
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
The dentist and hygienist did an amazing job! In addition to the usual dental check-up, they did a lot of health teaching as well. They gave each child individualized attention and made sure each child felt good about him or her self, even if they had a cavity! I really liked that! They were sensitive to student needs and very nice to deal with. We can’t wait for them to come again! Hagit Stone, School Nurse
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
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
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
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
You are all great! Sue Kruckman, School Nurse
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
Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized. This was my first time having the Mobile Dentists at our school, and the feedback received from students, parents, and school staff was extremely positive. We are looking forward to having you back. Nadine Rickards, School Nurse
The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly. Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary
This is a very valuable service to the student’s of Carroll County. The staff is very professional and work very well with the school and scheduling. It is a great program. I am so happy to have this available for our students. Lisa Frost, Head School Health Services 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
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit. Ilundria Bardwell, RN
This program is excellent, all schools should participate. The kids were very excited and some mentioned that the visit to the dentist is not as scary as they thought. Your staff is awesome and caring, and our students were very happy. Zoraida Olivo, Operations Manager
Your entire staff was excellent, professional, and very pleasant!! It was a joy and an honor to work with them as they provided a valuable service to our students. They were prompt and efficient as we overcame a few challenges. Each one of your staff showed a real love for what they do, and interacted well with our students, especially the challengers. Saundra L Davis, RN, School Nurse
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
Your dental team is very friendly, hard working, and dedicated to helping the children. Mary Figueroa, Health Assistant Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence
Mobile Dentists far surpassed my expectations. The staff was warm and gentle with the students, while being highly efficient and effective. I was quite impressed with their speedy set up and compact equipment. Our school is very old, and they were able to utilize a very small space to turn into the “dentist office”. In addition, their office staff took care of everything in terms of paperwork. They verified insurance, contacted parents for more information, and supplied families with grant paperwork. Thank you Mobile Dentists for a wonderful experience; I know we will be seeing you again next year. Christina Bancroft, BSN, CSN-NJ, School Nurse
Our parents are happy and completely satisfied with your program. They are impressed with the way your staff makes our students feel at ease. Dolores Ramirez, Community Liasion
Thank you for coming and providing your services to ensure the dental requirements and health of our children are met at Head Start! Valerie Dierckman, Health Specialist II
They did amazing! We had students who refused to open their mouths when they went to the dentist with their family that let the Smile Programs dentist examine their teeth here at the school. Sarah Dean, School Nurse Franklin Learning Center
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
Your program is wonderful, and has been coming to my school approximately 4 years. When asked about the program, I recommend it to all NNPS nurses. Pat Inge, RN, School Nurse
Friendly and professional! Karen Sims, School Nurse
We are so happy you come here and provide a much needed service. These students would never receive it if the parents had to leave work or get transportation to ascertain care. Thank you so much for your work! Marilyn Namey, School Nurse Hanover Area High School
I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program. Carol Halpin, School Nurse
It’s always a pleasure having your dental team come to our school, they are always pleasant, professional and nice to the children. Susie Rolando, Health Clerk
The team was excellent with the kids, and they met and exceeded my expectations by doing everything they promised. The teachers also agree that this is a valuable service that we should continue to offer. We’re looking forward to making this a permanent program and growing it in the future. Dan Goetz, RN, Nurse
