An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
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 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
Your dentist and staff are awesome with our special needs children, and are so patient and kind. They made the visit for most less frightening for future exams. One preschool student went back to her class raving about her experience, and stating “They tickled my teeth!”. M Stevens, RN
You all were great! I loved how they comforted each one of the children. Ann Burries, Director
The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist. Paula J. McCarthy, RN, School Nurse
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
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
Thanks again for coming and seeing our students! We appreciate the professionalism, kind words, and dental teaching you provided them! The program is so easy to work with and all went well and ran smoothly! Sharon Chura, Certified School Nurse Purchase Line School District
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 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
I love that I can offer this program to my students and their families. Everyone within the organization is friendly and helpful making the service very easy to set up for my school. The clinical staff that treat the kids are amazingly patient and understanding, especially with my fidgety and nervous kiddos. This program exceeds all expectations! Cara Dalton, School Nurse Hardy Elementary School
It’s a great service, and we love having the dental team come. Brenda Hanson, LVN
I can’t say enough about your staff! They are so wonderful to our parents and students here at Collins! They are a joy to work with! Kathy Oehler, FRC Coordinator
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
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
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
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 ladies from the program are fabulous! The kids love going to the dentist when they come, and everyone is smiling and happy! Kelli Sanders, Health Aide
I’d like to compliment all of your dental team for the excellent service they provided to our kids. Thank you! Juliana Reyes, Family Resource Coordinator Graves County Central Elementary School

Great job Big Smiles Dental! D. Williams, Coordinator
The dental team has a wealth of expertise in pediatric dentistry and ensures students have a comfortable experience. They eliminate the fear some students may have of going to the dentist. The team also informs me of the most severe cases, so I may follow up with the parents to ensure restorative care is executed. Sharon Wingfield, Assistant Principal Horace Mann Academy
Dr. Cindy and Dawn are wonderful! They are great at easing the minds of the frightened kids. Jennifer Vaughn, District Nurse
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. Tanya, School Nurse Bibich Elementary
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you! Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
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 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
What a great program! I would encourage all schools, especially elementary schools, to try it out! Megan Bounds, RN, Director of Health Services Lima-Brighton Elementary School
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
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
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
Everyone was wonderful and the dentists were friendly and professional. Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner
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
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
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 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
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
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile. Nicolas Perez, Principal Cheltenham Elementary
The Mobile Dentists program is such an asset to my students in delivering dental health care, helping to keep absenteeism down, and health habits up! I will definitely have the Mobile Dentists visit our school again! Chris Musial, MS, RN, NJ-CSN, NCSN, School Nurse
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much! Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
This is a very valuable service to the student’s of Carroll County. The staff is very professional and work very well with the school and scheduling. It is a great program. I am so happy to have this available for our students. Lisa Frost, Head School Health Services Nurse
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
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 is a very important program for public schools! Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
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
The staff was always wonderful, very professional, and kind to everyone. I wouldn’t have any other business come to my school to provide this service. Your company beats my expectations by a mile! I was able to call (daily almost) and get the answers I needed with no hassle. Suzie was wonderful, very attentive, very knowledgeable, and just overall wonderful! The past two years have been great with the Mobile Dentist Program, and I look forward to many more. Jacilyn Habura, Secretary/Health Aide
We enjoyed having Smile Pennsylvania at our school. The team provides a much needed service to the children in our school. Andrea McCoy, Certified School Nurse Stephen Girard Elementary School
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
