An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
You all were great! I loved how they comforted each one of the children.
Ann Burries, Director
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
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
Friendly staff and great service. A wonderful program that supports our community with a great smile.
Nicolas Perez, Principal Cheltenham Elementary
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
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
We love having you come to our school. Your staff is great!
Mandy Powell, Secretary Centennial Elementary School
Working with the staff at the Mobile Dentists office was very easy. They were very accommodating when choosing a visit date and were very efficient while processing the students’ permission forms. The staff from the Little Smiles New Jersey program that came to Mastery McGraw Elementary School were wonderful. They were prompt with their arrival and were very professional and friendly with the students and staff at our school. They saw 22 students at the visit and each student benefited from the work the dentist and dental hygienist did on their teeth. We have already scheduled our next visit for the fall and cannot wait to have the mobile dentists back at McGraw to see and help more of our students. Thank you!
Chelsea Trach RN, BSN, 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
Always a pleasure to deal with and they always do a wonderful job!
Matty Leocadio, School Nurse, RN, BSN
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
We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this much needed program. Thank you!
Sandy Marsh, Coordinator
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
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 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 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
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
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
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
Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal
The dentists and dental hygienists are always friendly and very patient with the students. They give the kids positive feedback on their behavior during the exam and procedures.
Tara Lovejoy, School Social Worker Morley Stanwood Elementary
The staff put the students at ease. The program helps to reduce the time students have to miss school and parents miss work.
Beverly L. Taylor, CHN
The program is wonderful and the parents and students are very happy with the program. Thank you for doing this!
Joyce Batts, Parent Coordinator P.S. 298
Your dental team is very friendly, hard working, and dedicated to helping the children.
Mary Figueroa, Health Assistant Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence
As always, we are very happy with your service. Your friendliness and professionalism is outstanding!
Mary Beth Delano, Registered Nurse Cople Elementary
I love, love, love the Smile Programs staff and service! We have partnered for years, and our satisfaction with the services offered have been consistent. I look forward to working with you all next year.
LaTonya Maxwell, Family Support Counselor UChicago Charter School - Donoghue Campus
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
Friendly staff and very flexible. Thank you for helping our students.
Rocio de Leon, Community Liaison
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
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 dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.
Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
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
What a great program! I would encourage all schools, especially elementary schools, to try it out!
Megan Bounds, RN, Director of Health Services Lima-Brighton Elementary School
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 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! Thank You!
Kathleen Perry, RN, School Nurse
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
The team was great! They do a fabulous job, and the student’s really enjoy visiting the dentist.
Paula J. McCarthy, RN, School Nurse
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
Our parents are happy and completely satisfied with your program. They are impressed with the way your staff makes our students feel at ease.
Dolores Ramirez, Community Liasion
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
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
Wonderful program, and we hope to have more student participation next year. Very caring staff!

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!

Tina Perry, RN, School Nurse
The staff was so efficient and did a great job with our kids!
