An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
We love the Smile Programs dental program. It gives our children who do not have access to good dental care a chance to see a great dentist work. We have many children who have never seen a dentist before. These children now have access to a great service.
Charmaine Linkins, School Nurse William Beanes ES
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient!
Holly Avery, Administrative Assistant Whitehall Shoreline Elementary School
This is a very valuable service to the student’s of Carroll County. The staff is very professional and work very well with the school and scheduling. It is a great program. I am so happy to have this available for our students.
Lisa Frost, Head School Health Services 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
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Smile Program. The friendly service the team provides helps to fill the gap in access to oral health care for children under age 5 in our community.
Katrina Harwood, WIC Director, Marion Public Health
This is such a wonderful program…the children ask frequently when the dentist is coming back! We are such a rural area that the closest dental facility that accepts some insurance programs is 90 minutes away. That means a full day of missed work for the parent, a full day of missed school for the student, and a very long drive. Thank you so much!
Susan O’Bier, RN Northumberland Elementary School
Excellent service! Thank You!
Kathleen Perry, RN, School Nurse
I absolutely love that you are able to provide this service during normal school hours, ensuring our scholars are being seen and their dental needs cared for. Every year, your staff is always kind and efficient!
Leah Martello, Dean of Scholars
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
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.
Lisa A. Knight, RN, Registered School Nurse
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.
LaTonya Maxwell, Family Support Counselor
Always a great experience!
Mike Honemann, Director
Excellent, friendly, professional staff. Works well with our special needs students. Love them all!
Kim Dougherty, RN, School Nurse
What a great program! I would encourage all schools, especially elementary schools, to try it out!
Megan Bounds, RN, Director of Health Services Lima-Brighton Elementary School
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
The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them.

Our students have special needs and the dental team was very attentive while caring for their needs. They were simply awesome!
Anna Calhoun, Practical Nurse SPEED School
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit.
Ilundria Bardwell, RN
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
The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, and they showed up on time and prepared to work each day they visited us at HCP. Thank you!
Elizabeth Cushing, Paraprofessional
Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal
Very flexible with our special needs students!
Margie Rossander, RN, School Nurse Canterbury Elementary
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
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
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
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
Dental staff were helpful and pleasant! The office staff remarked about how self sufficient you all were in gathering the necessary students and contacting parents! Thank you!
Jessica G., District Nurse
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
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you!
Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
I was very pleased with the professionalism of the team. They were very caring and it was the best dental experience. Keep up the outstanding work!
Kate Haenig, Social Worker
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
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
The service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here.
Lori Rice, RN, School Nurse
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 staff was really kid friendly! For some children this was their first experience with the dentist and the Smile Pennsylvania dental team really gave our children excellent dental services. Stephen Girard Elementary School in Philadelphia looks forward to your visits in the future.
Andrea McCoy, CSN, BSN, MHed, School 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
The Big Smiles dental crew were great! They were all terrific with the kids and worked hard to see everyone. They ended up treating 75 of our students that otherwise may not have been to a dentist. There is just no way to express how happy that makes me! I look forward to having them back!
Erin Bonham, RN, School Nurse
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
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
The residents are so appreciative of the care they receive. The “team” are true professionals and work extremely well together. Thank you so much for seeing the children!
Wayne Rankin, RN, DON Liberty Point Health Care RTC
Always a pleasure to deal with and they always do a wonderful job!
Matty Leocadio, School Nurse, RN, BSN
The staff is very professional and compassionate, which is very important to the young students we serve.
Donna Davis, Family Advocate
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
Thank you for working with our students! Your staff has always been adaptable to the conditions at our school, with a friendly, professional manner. The students who are seen are appreciative of the care you provide. Thanks so much!

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 dentist and dental staff were very kind, gentle, sweet, and patient with all our students. They arrived on time every day and were very happy to be in our school providing services to the students. They were honest, informative, and helpful. They told the students step by step what they were going to do before using any of their equipment, and asked the students if they had any questions. Their professionalism, patience, and knowledge helped the students with their fears. At the end of the visit, everyone went home with a brand new tooth brush, sticker, and copy of the work that was done on their teeth. It was a pleasure to have them!
Ximena Salvador, School Liaison
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
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 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
Great on-site team, professional, timely, and ready to assist the audience. Wonderful suggestions offered for next year’s event. Thank you again for providing screenings to the children of our participants; we greatly appreciated you joining us!
