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

Friendly and professional! Karen Sims, 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
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 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
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much! Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
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
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. We have many children who have never seen a dentist before. These children now have access to a great service. Charmaine Linkins, School Nurse William Beanes ES
The staff is warm, and they treat the kids and staff with respect. We love to have the visits from the dental staff. Elizabeth Shook, Lead School Nurse Madison County
The team is always efficient and caring. They are good with the students, especially the ones who have some anxiety. They are attentive to detail and I love having them come to the school. Janelle Burnett, School Nurse
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
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 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 and dentist were exceptional with our students. Thank you so very much! Kat Brook, Administrative Assistant Veritas Academy
Thank you for working with our students! Your staff has always been adaptable to the conditions at our school, with a friendly, professional manner. The students who are seen are appreciative of the care you provide. Thanks so much! Christine Novak, RN, BSN, School Nurse New Bern High School
Staff arrived promptly, set up quickly, and were conscientious about not having students out of class any longer than necessary. They were very friendly and very professional. Tracy McKinney, LPN, School Nurse Seymour Middle School
This was our first visit from the Smile Programs team and we were extremely pleased with the services we received. The team was on time, professional, patient, and kind with our children. 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
I always appreciate timeliness and professionalism, and that is exactly what your service provided for my center. V. Carter, Administrator Ready 2 Learn Childcare Center
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
This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work! Jenny Saylor Farmer, FRYSC Coordinator Cumberland Elementary FRYSC
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
Always a great experience! Mike Honemann, Director
The services were absolutely beneficial for my school, and assisting my families with obtaining the services needed. I also thought the tooth brushing demonstration was great! Stephanie L. Thomas, CHN/RN
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
Your program is wonderful, and has been coming to my school approximately 4 years. When asked about the program, I recommend it to all NNPS nurses. Pat Inge, RN, School Nurse
This program goes above and beyond, and they are professional and compassionate about what they do. We are grateful for this program! Tammy Carey, Nurse
Everyone was wonderful and the dentists were friendly and professional. Therese Gallagher, Family Nurse Practitioner
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students. Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this much needed program. Thank you! Sandy Marsh, Coordinator
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
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. The delivery was organized and effective, and minimally disruptive to the school day. I can’t wait to have them at our school again. Sarah Kupchick, RN, BSN, CSN
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
The Mobile Dentists program is such an asset to my students in delivering dental health care, helping to keep absenteeism down, and health habits up! I will definitely have the Mobile Dentists visit our school again! Chris Musial, MS, RN, NJ-CSN, NCSN, School Nurse
It’s so refreshing to continue to work with such passionate, caring, professionals! The staff are always patient and helpful. They do whatever they can to provide quality dental care to as many students as possible. Lisa A. Knight, RN, Registered 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
The team was amazing, and they displayed remarkable patience and kindness to each student. They saw 30 children in our school, some who had never been to the dentist before. The process was well organized, resulting in minimal disruption to the school day. Many thanks! Summer Piller, School Nurse Westwood Hills Elementary School
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
Love the team of Joi, Dr. King, and Pam….and others! You guys rock! So great with the students! Teresa Pratt, District 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
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
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
The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done. Gladys Fonua, Administrative Assistant
What a WONDERFUL service for the children in our district. The staff was so friendly and made the children feel safe and comfortable! For many children this was their first time seeing a dentist or having any dental work done and they all did so well, because the dental team was so great. We are looking forward to your return visit. Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS, Southern Local/Miller School
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
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
The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist. Paula J. McCarthy, RN, School 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
Professional and friendly staff that are easy and understanding to work with. Overall, kids are excited when they come. Tanya Ange, School Nurse John Small Elementary School
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
Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with! Lisa Fox, School 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
