An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Manchester Avenue Elementary,
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
A pleasure to work with your staff! They were very accommodating to our classroom schedules. Dr. Jewell and the dental assistants and hygienist were wonderful with the students. We had a great three days, and we were able to let their parents know if further dental care was needed. Thanks so much!
Marynan Mudd, Family Resource Center Coordinator
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
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
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 staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them.

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
Friendly and professional!
Karen Sims, School Nurse
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 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

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!
Susan Avery, Principal Braceville Elementary School
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
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
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 dentists who come are great. They are warm and welcoming to our students, and our students love them! Thank you for always ensuring our visits run smoothly.
Karoline Alexander, Community School Director
Dr. Cindy and Dawn are wonderful! They are great at easing the minds of the frightened kids.
Jennifer Vaughn, District Nurse
This service was wonderful. I would gladly recommend it to any other program. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
Jessica Davis, RN, RDH, Health and Community Services Manager
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 are so fortunate to be able to participate in this much needed program. Thank you!
Sandy Marsh, Coordinator
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
We enjoyed having Smile Pennsylvania at our school. The team provides a much needed service to the children in our school.
Andrea McCoy, Certified School Nurse Stephen Girard Elementary School
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 mobile dentist provided excellent service to the students at Southeast Elementary. The team was very kid friendly, and made the process fun for the kids. Everyone walked out with a smile! We look forward to next year.
Araceli McBeth, Health Aide Southeast Elementary School
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 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
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community!
Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
The staff put the students at ease. The program helps to reduce the time students have to miss school and parents miss work.

Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal

The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done.

You all were great! I loved how they comforted each one of the children.
Ann Burries, Director
The staff was very professional and friendly, and they knew exactly what to do. No complaints on our part. Thank you for your service!
Rosario Gutierrez, School Administrative Assistant
The staff was always wonderful, very professional, and kind to everyone. I wouldn’t have any other business come to my school to provide this service. Your company beats my expectations by a mile! I was able to call (daily almost) and get the answers I needed with no hassle. Suzie was wonderful, very attentive, very knowledgeable, and just overall wonderful! The past two years have been great with the Mobile Dentist Program, and I look forward to many more.
Jacilyn Habura, Secretary/Health Aide
Our students have special needs and the dental team was very attentive while caring for their needs. They were simply awesome!
Anna Calhoun, Practical Nurse SPEED School
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
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
I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program.

Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit.

You have wonderful, patient staff, that are very friendly. I hope Montlieu’s hospitality was warm and inviting. Thanks for all you do for our students here at the ‘Lieu’!
Marsha C. Erwin, CIS Student Support Specialist Montlieu Academy of Technology/CIS
