What Schools Are Saying About Us

We were very impressed with the organization and efficiency of the dental program. What a great service! Having programs such as these provides great benefits and service to our students and is very much appreciated!

Bridget C. Lucardie, MSN, RN, School Nurse

Great job Big Smiles Dental!

D. Williams, Coordinator

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

It is always a pleasure to have your services and help the kids of Baltimore City. I am grateful to know that an organization such as yours will provide a much needed dental health care need, now and in the future.

Donna Caudle, RN Walter P. Carter Elementary/Middle 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

It’s a great service, and we love having the dental team come.

The Big Smiles dental services were excellent. The dental team worked very efficiently and diligently when providing services to our students. I was impressed with the services provided to students on the spot in the school setting.

Remona C. Sands, Family Resource Center Coordinator

Great on-site team, professional, timely, and ready to assist the audience. Wonderful suggestions offered for next year’s event. Thank you again for providing screenings to the children of our participants; we greatly appreciated you joining us!

Kim Price, Community Health Educator, Blue Cross Complete of Michigan

They did amazing! We had students who refused to open their mouths when they went to the dentist with their family that let the Smile Programs dentist examine their teeth here at the school.

Sarah Dean, School Nurse Franklin Learning Center

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

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!

Steve Basnight, Principal

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

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

Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff!

This is a very important program for public schools!

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!

Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School

We love having you come to our school. Your staff is great!

Mandy Powell, Secretary Centennial Elementary School

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

Excellent service for parents; no clinic visits, no time off from their jobs. For the students; great dental care. Thanks a lot Little Smiles New Jersey!

A Bernard, School Nurse

Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized. This was my first time having the Mobile Dentists at our school, and the feedback received from students, parents, and school staff was extremely positive. We are looking forward to having you back.

Nadine Rickards, School 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

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 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

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

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

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.

Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.

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

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

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

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

We have worked with the staff for several years now, and have always been pleased with the service and professionalism displayed. I hope we can keep them for many years to come.

LaTonya Maxwell, Family Support Counselor

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

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

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

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

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 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
