We are looking forward to your return visit. Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS, Southern Local/Miller School
The Smile Program is a wonderful service for students and parents who are on the go and just can’t seem to find enough time in the day to make that most needed dental stop. I would recommend this program to everyone that I know because the staff is very friendly and highly professional at all times. Thanks Smile Programs for servicing our students here at Emerson School. We’re looking forward to your next visit! Lashunda Harold, Health Clerk
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
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

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 dentists and dental hygienists are always friendly and very patient with the students. They give the kids positive feedback on their behavior during the exam and procedures. Tara Lovejoy, School Social Worker Morley Stanwood Elementary
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
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
Always a great experience! Mike Honemann, Director
The service was excellent, and we want to thank you so much for bringing your program into our school. Your staff did an excellent job working with our nurse and office staff. Catherine Webb, Office Manager

Great job Big Smiles Dental! D. Williams, Coordinator
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
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
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
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
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
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit. Ilundria Bardwell, RN
Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome. Blair, Registered Nurse
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
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
Efficient, friendly, flexible, and prompt! The hygienist came in to greet the office staff first thing in the morning. A few times I walked by the room where they were set up, and for a mobile unit it is an extremely professional set up. It was a pleasant experience for the staff and children. Thank you for a wonderful service to the community and children. Catherine Aldrich, Administrative Assistant
You are all great! Sue Kruckman, School Nurse
