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

We love the Smile Programs dental program. It gives our children who do not have access to good dental care a chance to see a great dentist work.

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
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much! Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
The service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here. Lori Rice, RN, School Nurse

We are looking forward to your return visit. Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS, Southern Local/Miller School

Thanks Smile Programs for servicing our students here at Emerson School. We’re looking forward to your next visit! Lashunda Harold, Health Clerk

I am looking forward to our 6 month follow up and hope that our participation will continue to increase. Wendy Adams, LPN, Health Services Coordinator
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
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
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit. Ilundria Bardwell, RN
You are all great! Sue Kruckman, School Nurse
I always like having the Mobile Dentists come to my school, because I am so amazed they are able to see all our little ones and we never have a screaming episode. Everyone is always looking forward to seeing the Dentist. I never have parents displeased with the services or how they were conducted. I wish you would consider giving us one day of adult check ups! Yvette Franklin, Health Professional
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus. Ms. Klein, School Nurse
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
As always, we are very happy with your service. Your friendliness and professionalism is outstanding! Mary Beth Delano, Registered Nurse Cople Elementary
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
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
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
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
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
