Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized.

Nadine Rickards, School Nurse

Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient! Holly Avery, Administrative Assistant Whitehall Shoreline Elementary School

Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus. Ms. Klein, School Nurse

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide

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 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

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 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.

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

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

This program is excellent, all schools should participate. The kids were very excited and some mentioned that the visit to the dentist is not as scary as they thought. Your staff is awesome and caring, and our students were very happy. Zoraida Olivo, Operations Manager

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

The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done. Gladys Fonua, Administrative Assistant

Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome. Blair, Registered Nurse

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

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

Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you! Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
