An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
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
Your dental team is very friendly, hard working, and dedicated to helping the children. Mary Figueroa, Health Assistant Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence
Your entire staff was excellent, professional, and very pleasant!! It was a joy and an honor to work with them as they provided a valuable service to our students.

Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison

Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized.
