An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
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
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
The dentist and assistants were awesome! Go with the flow kind of team! They worked non-stop until the job was done. Thank you for coming to our school!
Stephanie Keller, RN, BSN, School Nurse Mast Community Charter School II
The Smile Illinois mobile dentists is an excellent program! The dentist and staff are so good at what they do, and are wonderful with the kids. I think this is a wonderful program that benefits our students a great deal!
Gina VanCleave, RN, BSN
The dental team has a wealth of expertise in pediatric dentistry and ensures students have a comfortable experience. They eliminate the fear some students may have of going to the dentist. The team also informs me of the most severe cases, so I may follow up with the parents to ensure restorative care is executed.
Sharon Wingfield, Assistant Principal Horace Mann Academy
Staff arrived promptly, set up quickly, and were conscientious about not having students out of class any longer than necessary. They were very friendly and very professional.
Tracy McKinney, LPN, School Nurse Seymour Middle School
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
The staff was always wonderful, very professional, and kind to everyone. I wouldn’t have any other business come to my school to provide this service. Your company beats my expectations by a mile! I was able to call (daily almost) and get the answers I needed with no hassle. Suzie was wonderful, very attentive, very knowledgeable, and just overall wonderful! The past two years have been great with the Mobile Dentist Program, and I look forward to many more.
Jacilyn Habura, Secretary/Health Aide
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
The program is wonderful and the parents and students are very happy with the program. Thank you for doing this!
Joyce Batts, Parent Coordinator P.S. 298
Thank you for your services. Unfortunately, some of our children would not receive the dental attention that is needed if it was not for your program.
Vicki Haney, LPN Peters Elementary School
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.

Your dentist and staff are awesome with our special needs children, and are so patient and kind. They made the visit for most less frightening for future exams. One preschool student went back to her class raving about her experience, and stating “They tickled my teeth!”.
M Stevens, RN
The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.
Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary
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.

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
I love that I can offer this program to my students and their families. Everyone within the organization is friendly and helpful making the service very easy to set up for my school. The clinical staff that treat the kids are amazingly patient and understanding, especially with my fidgety and nervous kiddos. This program exceeds all expectations!
Cara Dalton, School Nurse Hardy 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
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
The dentists who come are great. They are warm and welcoming to our students, and our students love them! Thank you for always ensuring our visits run smoothly.
Karoline Alexander, Community School Director
This is an excellent service for students and parents.

Kathy Oehler, FRC Coordinator
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
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
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
It’s a great service, and we love having the dental team come.
Brenda Hanson, LVN
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
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids!
Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
The ladies from the program are fabulous! The kids love going to the dentist when they come, and everyone is smiling and happy!
Kelli Sanders, Health Aide
The dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.
Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
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 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
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.

Excellent service! Thank You!
Kathleen Perry, RN, 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
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
You all were great! I loved how they comforted each one of the children.
Ann Burries, Director
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
