An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
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
This is a very important program for public schools! Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
Thank you for coming and providing your services to ensure the dental requirements and health of our children are met at Head Start! Valerie Dierckman, Health Specialist II
The service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here. Lori Rice, RN, School Nurse
Friendly and professional! Karen Sims, 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 love having you come to our school. Your staff is great! Mandy Powell, Secretary Centennial Elementary School
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
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
Smile Illinois has been visiting AFL for a number of years now. It gives our students a great opportunity for a dental check up and cleaning. The dental staff are very helpful and professional. Thank you for coming! Gretchen Hogan, RN, School Nurse
Always a great experience! Mike Honemann, Director
Smile New York is a wonderful in-school dental prevention program. Our students were engaged and excited about the dentist visiting. It was beneficial to have so many of our students receive dental health services and walk out with clean and treated teeth. The dental staff was caring, supportive, and professional. Our overall experience was great! Audra Jimenez, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services
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 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 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
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
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
We are VERY pleased to be able to offer your services to our students. Thank you so much! Angela Vass, RN Carroll County
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
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 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
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
This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview Elementary School
I appreciate the services you provide to our school and children. Some have never been to the dentist, and other dental programs don’t service the whole school population. Thanks again! Annette M. Scott, RN, BSN, LSN, School Nurse Ironton City Schools
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
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
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 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
Excellent service to our students! Dr. Beverley Martin, Assistant Principal
The staff put the students at ease. The program helps to reduce the time students have to miss school and parents miss work. Beverly L. Taylor, CHN
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
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
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
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
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
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 is always great and very happy to be here. We love having them here! Renee Johnson, Health Tech
The staff did a wonderful job this year with the elementary and middle school students! They were friendly and very efficient with their time. They treated 40 students, which I believe was a record year for us! Andrea McGrew, District Nurse
The staff was very professional and friendly, and they knew exactly what to do. No complaints on our part. Thank you for your service! Rosario Gutierrez, School Administrative Assistant
I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program. Carol Halpin, School Nurse
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 service was wonderful. I would gladly recommend it to any other program. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Jessica Davis, RN, RDH, Health and Community Services Manager
Working with the staff at the Mobile Dentists office was very easy. They were very accommodating when choosing a visit date and were very efficient while processing the students’ permission forms. The staff from the Little Smiles New Jersey program that came to Mastery McGraw Elementary School were wonderful. They were prompt with their arrival and were very professional and friendly with the students and staff at our school. They saw 22 students at the visit and each student benefited from the work the dentist and dental hygienist did on their teeth. We have already scheduled our next visit for the fall and cannot wait to have the mobile dentists back at McGraw to see and help more of our students. Thank you! Chelsea Trach RN, BSN, School Nurse
Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with! Lisa Fox, School Nurse
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
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community! Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
Love the team of Joi, Dr. King, and Pam….and others! You guys rock! So great with the students! Teresa Pratt, District Nurse
Professional, friendly, and wonderful service! That’s my experience with Mobile Dentists. Johnny Raynor, BSN, RN, EMT-P, CSN, 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
