An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
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
Dr. Cindy and Dawn are wonderful! They are great at easing the minds of the frightened kids.
Jennifer Vaughn, District Nurse
Dental staff were helpful and pleasant! The office staff remarked about how self sufficient you all were in gathering the necessary students and contacting parents! Thank you!
Jessica G., District Nurse
Great, friendly, generous service. We appreciate it very much!
Bridget Montgomery, Case Manager
Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!
Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School
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 dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.
Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
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.

Megan Bounds, RN, Director of Health Services Lima-Brighton Elementary 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
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.
Tanya, School Nurse Bibich Elementary
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
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
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
We loved the team that came! They truly sought to serve kids well, and worked hard to make sure everyone received excellent serve.

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 service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here.
Lori Rice, 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
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
Always great with the students, and a pleasure to have. My school really benefits from this program on our campus.
Ms. Klein, School Nurse
I can’t say enough about your staff! They are so wonderful to our parents and students here at Collins! They are a joy to work with!
Kathy Oehler, FRC 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
The Mobile Dentist program continues to impress me every year. The office staff does an amazing job taking care of all the details. The dental team is professional and so easy to work with. They are EXCELLENT with our students. We are so happy about the restorative care that is now available as well. We look forward to your visits. You are making a huge difference in the lives of our students. Thank you!
Joanne Witts, RN, District Nurse
The Smile Program is a wonderful service for students and parents who are on the go and just can’t seem to find enough time in the day to make that most needed dental stop. I would recommend this program to everyone that I know because the staff is very friendly and highly professional at all times. Thanks Smile Programs for servicing our students here at Emerson School. We’re looking forward to your next visit!
Lashunda Harold, Health Clerk
This program is something we have needed for a long time. They do excellent work!
Jenny Saylor Farmer, FRYSC Coordinator Cumberland Elementary FRYSC
The Smile Illinois mobile dentists is an excellent program! The dentist and staff are so good at what they do, and are wonderful with the kids. I think this is a wonderful program that benefits our students a great deal!
Gina VanCleave, RN, BSN
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. They were prompt and efficient as we overcame a few challenges. Each one of your staff showed a real love for what they do, and interacted well with our students, especially the challengers.
Saundra L Davis, RN, School Nurse
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
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
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient!
