An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
Awesome, and so good with students who are afraid or nervous. The follow up care was wonderful!
Marlaina Reel, School Nurse
The team is always efficient and caring. They are good with the students, especially the ones who have some anxiety. They are attentive to detail and I love having them come to the school.
Janelle Burnett, School Nurse
Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with!
Lisa Fox, School Nurse
The dentists who come are great. They are warm and welcoming to our students, and our students love them! Thank you for always ensuring our visits run smoothly.
Karoline Alexander, Community School Director
The Smile Program is a wonderful service for students and parents who are on the go and just can’t seem to find enough time in the day to make that most needed dental stop. I would recommend this program to everyone that I know because the staff is very friendly and highly professional at all times. Thanks Smile Programs for servicing our students here at Emerson School. We’re looking forward to your next visit!
Lashunda Harold, Health Clerk
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 team is always great and very happy to be here. We love having them here!
Renee Johnson, Health Tech
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
This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work!
Jenny Saylor Farmer, FRYSC Coordinator Cumberland Elementary FRYSC
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you!
Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
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
The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.
Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary
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.
Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS, Southern Local/Miller School
The staff is very friendly and provides a great service to our students.
Lori Bradigan, LPN Oaklyn Elementary
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
Excellent service to our students!
Dr. Beverley Martin, Assistant Principal
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
Everyone was courteous and professional. The team was able to finish early and they were great with the children. Thank you for another great experience!
Cortney Williams-Loyd, Site Coordinator Ezra Jack Keats Pre-K Center
Excellent service! Thank You!
Kathleen Perry, RN, School Nurse
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
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
Your program is wonderful, and has been coming to my school approximately 4 years. When asked about the program, I recommend it to all NNPS nurses.
Pat Inge, RN, School Nurse
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 staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids!
Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
We loved the team that came! They truly sought to serve kids well, and worked hard to make sure everyone received excellent serve.
Kalie George, Executive Director
Dr. Cindy and Dawn are wonderful! They are great at easing the minds of the frightened kids.
Jennifer Vaughn, District Nurse
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!
Christine Novak, RN, BSN, School Nurse New Bern High School
The ladies from the program are fabulous! The kids love going to the dentist when they come, and everyone is smiling and happy!

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!

Very flexible with our special needs students!

Excellent service and friendly staff! This is a much needed service for our students, and we appreciate the care that you provide for our district!
Tina Perry, 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
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
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
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
Friendly and professional!
Karen Sims, School Nurse
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
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
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.
Catherine Webb, Office Manager
Very friendly, efficient staff. They make the children feel comfortable, and they were thorough with the exams and cleanings.
Deb Graham, RN Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center
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
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!
Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
It is a great way to give the children dental service at no cost to parents, because sometimes our parents don’t have the money, nor the transportation to get them to the dentist.
Sonia De La Torre, SAA
We are so thankful for the wonderful dental care your organization provides to our students. Many would not receive any dental care if it were not for the Mobile Dentists.
Elizabeth J. Hollingsworth, RN, School Nurse
