Don't Take Our Word For It

Hear from the great people we serve

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

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

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

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

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

Lori Rice, RN School 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 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

The staff is warm and they treat the kids and staff with respect. We love to have the visits from the dental staff.
Elizabeth Shook Lead School Nurse, Madison County

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.
