Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

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

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 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

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 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

What a WONDERFUL service for the children in our district. The staff was so friendly and made the children feel safe and comfortable! For many children this was their first time seeing a dentist or having any dental work done and they all did so well, because the dental team was so great. We are looking forward to your return visit.
Jessica Dorsey, BSN, RN, CCRN, CTTS , Southern Local/Miller

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

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

Smile Illinois has been visiting AFL for a number of years now. It gives our students a great opportunity for a dental check up and cleaning. The dental staff are very helpful and professional. Thank you for coming!
Gretchen Hogan RN, School Nurse
