An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
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
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
I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program.
Carol Halpin, School Nurse
This is an excellent service for students and parents.
Tony Reece, School Finance Officer/School Records Data Management Mountain Park 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
Our Carnell School Family truly appreciated the dental services that you provide to our scholars here at school. Your team works in harmony getting the children screened and then providing the needed services. We hope to continue seeing Mobile Dentists here at Carnell Elementary in the years to come.
Vanessa Faine, School Nurse
As always, we are very happy with your service. Your friendliness and professionalism is outstanding!
Mary Beth Delano, Registered Nurse Cople Elementary
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.

The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.
Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary
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.

We are so happy you come here and provide a much needed service. These students would never receive it if the parents had to leave work or get transportation to ascertain care. Thank you so much for your work!

The staff is very friendly and provides a great service to our students.
Lori Bradigan, LPN Oaklyn Elementary
What a WONDERFUL service for the children in our district. The staff was so friendly and made the children feel safe and comfortable! For many children this was their first time seeing a dentist or having any dental work done and they all did so well, because the dental team was so great. We are looking forward to your return visit.

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
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.
Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
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
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff!

I always appreciate timeliness and professionalism, and that is exactly what your service provided for my center.
V. Carter, Administrator Ready 2 Learn Childcare Center
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus.
Ms. Klein, School Nurse
I can only say great things about Sherrie. She is awesome with the clients here, and all of the clients ask if she will be returning in 6 months. Dr. Reisinger is great also, and will see all of the clients scheduled that day even if he has over 100 sealants. The restorative team is great also.
Shalonda Allen, Patient Care Coordinator
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
Love the team of Joi, Dr. King, and Pam….and others! You guys rock! So great with the students!

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
Thank you for all you do. Some of our children would have no dental care if it weren’t for you.
Carol Dzialak, BSN, RN, School Nurse Xavier School of Excellence
Dr. Ash and her team have a fabulous rapport with our children, and explain everything at their level so they understand the procedures. No fear or crying at all, and for K-2, that’s saying something! We really love this service and it is much needed in our community. Thank You!
Michelle Hagglund, Registered Nurse
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.

The program is wonderful and the parents and students are very happy with the program. Thank you for doing this!
Joyce Batts, Parent Coordinator P.S. 298
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
Awesome, and so good with students who are afraid or nervous. The follow up care was wonderful!
Marlaina Reel, School Nurse
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
Friendly and professional!
Karen Sims, School Nurse
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
The services were absolutely beneficial for my school, and assisting my families with obtaining the services needed. I also thought the tooth brushing demonstration was great!
Stephanie L. Thomas, CHN/RN
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
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
Everyone was wonderful and the dentists were friendly and professional.
Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner
Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome.
Blair, Registered Nurse
