An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students. Patti Oester, Administrative Assistant Flanagan Grade School
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
The service was excellent. Awesome program and staff! We look forward to having Smile Programs here. Lori Rice, RN, School Nurse
We are very thankful for your program. We have several students who would not see a dentist if you did not come to our school. Thank you very much! Gina Berry, Clinic Assistant
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

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
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 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 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

This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview Elementary School
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
Smile New York is a wonderful in-school dental prevention program. Our students were engaged and excited about the dentist visiting. It was beneficial to have so many of our students receive dental health services and walk out with clean and treated teeth. The dental staff was caring, supportive, and professional. Our overall experience was great! Audra Jimenez, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services
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
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
