An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
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
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
Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile.
Nicolas Perez, Principal Cheltenham Elementary
Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!
Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School
Wonderful team to work with!
Chris James, RN, School Nurse
Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome.
Blair, Registered Nurse
The staff is very professional and compassionate, which is very important to the young students we serve.
Donna Davis, Family Advocate
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!
Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
The Mobile Dentist program continues to impress me every year. The office staff does an amazing job taking care of all the details. The dental team is professional and so easy to work with. They are EXCELLENT with our students. We are so happy about the restorative care that is now available as well. We look forward to your visits. You are making a huge difference in the lives of our students. Thank you!
Joanne Witts, RN, District Nurse
Excellent service for parents; no clinic visits, no time off from their jobs. For the students; great dental care. Thanks a lot Little Smiles New Jersey!
A Bernard, School Nurse
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
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 dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.

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
What a great program! I would encourage all schools, especially elementary schools, to try it out!

I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program.
Carol Halpin, School Nurse
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
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
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
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient!
Holly Avery, Administrative Assistant Whitehall Shoreline Elementary School
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
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
Excellent service to our students!
Dr. Beverley Martin, Assistant Principal
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids!

Leah Martello, Dean of Scholars
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff!
Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
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
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
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
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
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 staff and dentist were exceptional with our students. Thank you so very much!
Kat Brook, Administrative Assistant Veritas Academy
This is an excellent service for students and parents.
Tony Reece, School Finance Officer/School Records Data Management Mountain Park Elementary School
This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students.

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.

This is a very important program for public schools!

Professional and friendly staff that are easy and understanding to work with. Overall, kids are excited when they come.
Tanya Ange, School Nurse John Small Elementary School
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
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!
