An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
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
We love Big Smiles! So many of our kids would go without any dental care without it. They are wonderful with the kids and we could not be more pleased with the service. Angel Goldberg, RN, School Nurse Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary School
It is a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team! Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary School
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
Thank you to the entire dental team for the wonderful service provided to our students. From start to finish everything was professional and organized. This was my first time having the Mobile Dentists at our school, and the feedback received from students, parents, and school staff was extremely positive. We are looking forward to having you back. Nadine Rickards, School Nurse
The staff is very friendly and provides a great service to our students. Lori Bradigan, LPN Oaklyn Elementary
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
We are so happy you come here and provide a much needed service. These students would never receive it if the parents had to leave work or get transportation to ascertain care. Thank you so much for your work! Marilyn Namey, School Nurse Hanover Area High School
We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this much needed program. Thank you! Sandy Marsh, Coordinator
I appreciate the services you provide to our school and children. Some have never been to the dentist, and other dental programs don’t service the whole school population. Thanks again! Annette M. Scott, RN, BSN, LSN, School Nurse Ironton City Schools
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
This program is excellent, all schools should participate. The kids were very excited and some mentioned that the visit to the dentist is not as scary as they thought. Your staff is awesome and caring, and our students were very happy. Zoraida Olivo, Operations Manager
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
The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly. Cynthia H. Morgan, Principal Edgemont Primary
he dental team arrived on time and had their equipment set up and ready to go promptly. They were very professional and explained everything that was going to happen to the students before they began their individual tasks. We had some first time students who had never been seen by the program before, and they put those students as well as the others at ease. We would recommend them to any school. They were kind and welcoming to everyone, including staff who stopped in to see how the program works, and volunteers who helped coordinate the flow of students back and forth from the classrooms for treatments. Patricia Holston, RN, School Nurse
I can only say great things about Sherrie. She is awesome with the clients here, and all of the clients ask if she will be returning in 6 months. Dr. Reisinger is great also, and will see all of the clients scheduled that day even if he has over 100 sealants. The restorative team is great also. Shalonda Allen, Patient Care Coordinator
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
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
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
Always a pleasure to deal with and they always do a wonderful job! Matty Leocadio, School Nurse, RN, BSN
Your dental team is very friendly, hard working, and dedicated to helping the children. Mary Figueroa, Health Assistant Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence
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
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
Thank you for this much needed service for the students! Marie Newton, RN, School Nurse
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
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
We are VERY pleased to be able to offer your services to our students. Thank you so much! Angela Vass, RN Carroll County
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
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
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
This is a wonderful service you offer to students, and is very professional and reliable. Thanks so much! Shelly Bird, Secretary Creekview Elementary School
Excellent service and “bedside manner”. Every person in the dental team was awesome. Blair, Registered Nurse
Great job Big Smiles Dental! D. Williams, Coordinator
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
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
The staff is always professional, nice, and friendly. I always enjoy having them. Charlotte Morris, 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
We were very impressed with the organization and efficiency of the dental program. What a great service! Having programs such as these provides great benefits and service to our students and is very much appreciated! Bridget C. Lucardie, MSN, 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
The dental team was on time, friendly, and professional. Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
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
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
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
It’s a great service, and we love having the dental team come. Brenda Hanson, LVN
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
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
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
Susie was wonderful to work with in coordinating the visit. Ilundria Bardwell, RN
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
I have worked with Smile Programs for several years now and can’t say enough good about your program. Carol Halpin, School Nurse
