An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
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
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
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
Thank you for all you do. Some of our children would have no dental care if it weren’t for you. Carol Dzialak, BSN, RN, School Nurse Xavier School of Excellence
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
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
Your service is most welcome at our school. It provides our children with the care that they would otherwise not receive. THANKS SO MUCH! Serena Taylor, Secretary Duchesne Elementary School
The team was amazing, and they displayed remarkable patience and kindness to each student. They saw 30 children in our school, some who had never been to the dentist before. The process was well organized, resulting in minimal disruption to the school day. Many thanks! Summer Piller, School Nurse Westwood Hills Elementary School
The dental team made the visit extremely easy for the office. They had a list of all the students to be seen with teacher names. All I needed to do was provide a location, room numbers, and a daily schedule. They were all very professional. Michelle Siegeler, School Administrative Assistant
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
You all were great! I loved how they comforted each one of the children. Ann Burries, Director
It is always a pleasure to have your services and help the kids of Baltimore City. I am grateful to know that an organization such as yours will provide a much needed dental health care need, now and in the future. Donna Caudle, RN Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle School
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

Very friendly, efficient staff. They make the children feel comfortable, and they were thorough with the exams and cleanings. Deb Graham, RN Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center
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
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison

Awesome, and so good with students who are afraid or nervous. The follow up care was wonderful! Marlaina Reel, School Nurse
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
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
