What Schools Are Saying About Us

The Smile Programs Dental Program is great! This program helps children to be relaxed about seeing the dentist and taking care of their teeth.

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

We are very thankful for your program. We have several students who would not see a dentist if you did not come to our school. Thank you very much! Gina Berry, Clinic Assistant

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

As always, it was a pleasure having the Mobile Dentist team visit our school. Our children certainly are fortunate to have such a wonderful and beneficial opportunity! Joanne Conn, 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

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 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

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

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 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
