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

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

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!

You are all great!
Sue Kruckman, 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!

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.

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
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
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
Dr. Cindy and Dawn are wonderful! They are great at easing the minds of the frightened kids.

You have wonderful, patient staff, that are very friendly. I hope Montlieu’s hospitality was warm and inviting. Thanks for all you do for our students here at the ‘Lieu’!
Marsha C. Erwin, CIS Student Support Specialist Montlieu Academy of Technology/CIS
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 staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids!
Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
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
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
Very flexible with our special needs students!
Margie Rossander, RN, School Nurse Canterbury Elementary
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!
Marilyn Namey, School Nurse Hanover Area High School
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.
Cindy, School Nurse
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!
Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
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
Dental staff were helpful and pleasant! The office staff remarked about how self sufficient you all were in gathering the necessary students and contacting parents! Thank you!
Jessica G., District Nurse
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
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit.
Ilundria Bardwell, RN
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient!

The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.

Professional and friendly staff that are easy and understanding to work with. Overall, kids are excited when they come.

Professional, friendly, and wonderful service! That’s my experience with Mobile Dentists.
Johnny Raynor, BSN, RN, EMT-P, CSN, School Nurse
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
Excellent service! Thank You!
Kathleen Perry, RN, School Nurse
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
