An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.

The dentist and hygienist did an amazing job! In addition to the usual dental check-up, they did a lot of health teaching as well. They gave each child individualized attention and made sure each child felt good about him or her self, even if they had a cavity! I really liked that! They were sensitive to student needs and very nice to deal with. We can’t wait for them to come again! Hagit Stone, School Nurse
We were very impressed with the organization and efficiency of the dental program. What a great service! Having programs such as these provides great benefits and service to our students and is very much appreciated! Bridget C. Lucardie, MSN, RN, 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
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
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
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
I am very pleased that some of our students opted to participate because this very well may be the only dental visit they get. Thank you! Brittani Christman, School Nurse River Elementary
Everyone was wonderful and the dentists were friendly and professional. Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner
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 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
This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students. Patti Oester, Administrative Assistant Flanagan Grade School
This is an excellent service for students and parents. Tony Reece, School Finance Officer/School Records Data Management Mountain Park Elementary School
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
Mobile Dentists far surpassed my expectations. The staff was warm and gentle with the students, while being highly efficient and effective. I was quite impressed with their speedy set up and compact equipment. Our school is very old, and they were able to utilize a very small space to turn into the “dentist office”. In addition, their office staff took care of everything in terms of paperwork. They verified insurance, contacted parents for more information, and supplied families with grant paperwork. Thank you Mobile Dentists for a wonderful experience; I know we will be seeing you again next year. Christina Bancroft, BSN, CSN-NJ, School Nurse
The team is always great and very happy to be here. We love having them here! Renee Johnson, Health Tech
