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

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
This service was one of the best resources that our school could have used. There are always so many students who don’t have a dentist and the parents don’t know where to go to get help for those students who need dental help. It’s so great that the dental team can come to the school to service the students. The school staff and parents thank Smile Programs so much for coming to help our students. Natasha Mayweather, RN, School Nurse Holy Family School
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
Thank you for your services. Unfortunately, some of our children would not receive the dental attention that is needed if it was not for your program. Vicki Haney, LPN Peters Elementary School
This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview Elementary School
Everyone was wonderful and the dentists were friendly and professional. Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner
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
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
The staff that comes to our school is excellent. They are so good with the kids and our teachers. Barbara Gray, Clinic Aide Northwestern Elementary School
The dentist and assistants were awesome! Go with the flow kind of team! They worked non-stop until the job was done. Thank you for coming to our school! Stephanie Keller, RN, BSN, School Nurse Mast Community Charter School II
Wonderful team to work with! Chris James, RN, School Nurse
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff! Bonnie Rink, Health Aide
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 staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids! Abby Phillips, Health Clerk
This is a very important program for public schools! Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
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

Nadine Rickards, 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
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
Excellent service to our students! Dr. Beverley Martin, Assistant Principal
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
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient! Holly Avery, Administrative Assistant Whitehall Shoreline Elementary School
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
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.
