Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

Excellent, friendly, professional staff. Works well with our special needs students. Love them all!
Kim Dougherty, RN School Nurse

The staff were very efficient and organized, and the program ran smoothly.
Cynthia H. Morgan Principal, Edgemont Primary

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

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

Outstanding service and care for my students, and a great team to work with!
Lisa Fox School Nurse

Everyone was courteous and professional. The team was able to finish early and they were great with the children. Thank you for another great experience.
Cortney Williams-Loyd Site Coordinator, Ezra Jack Keats Pre-K Center

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

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

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

Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!
Susan Avery Principal, Braceville Elementary School
