An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
The staff did a wonderful job this year with the elementary and middle school students! They were friendly and very efficient with their time. They treated 40 students, which I believe was a record year for us!
Andrea McGrew, District Nurse
Efficient, friendly, flexible, and prompt! The hygienist came in to greet the office staff first thing in the morning. A few times I walked by the room where they were set up, and for a mobile unit it is an extremely professional set up. It was a pleasant experience for the staff and children. Thank you for a wonderful service to the community and children.
Catherine Aldrich, Administrative Assistant
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
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
We are so thankful for the wonderful dental care your organization provides to our students. Many would not receive any dental care if it were not for the Mobile Dentists.
Elizabeth J. Hollingsworth, RN, School Nurse
The dentist and dental staff were very kind, gentle, sweet, and patient with all our students. They arrived on time every day and were very happy to be in our school providing services to the students. They were honest, informative, and helpful. They told the students step by step what they were going to do before using any of their equipment, and asked the students if they had any questions. Their professionalism, patience, and knowledge helped the students with their fears. At the end of the visit, everyone went home with a brand new tooth brush, sticker, and copy of the work that was done on their teeth. It was a pleasure to have them!
Ximena Salvador, School Liaison
This service was one of the best resources that our school could have used. There are always so many students who don’t have a dentist and the parents don’t know where to go to get help for those students who need dental help. It’s so great that the dental team can come to the school to service the students. The school staff and parents thank Smile Programs so much for coming to help our students.
Natasha Mayweather, RN, School Nurse Holy Family 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
I absolutely love that you are able to provide this service during normal school hours, ensuring our scholars are being seen and their dental needs cared for. Every year, your staff is always kind and efficient!
Leah Martello, Dean of Scholars
We love the Smile Programs dental program. It gives our children who do not have access to good dental care a chance to see a great dentist work. We have many children who have never seen a dentist before. These children now have access to a great service.
Charmaine Linkins, School Nurse William Beanes Elementary School
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 New York is a wonderful in-school dental prevention program. Our students were engaged and excited about the dentist visiting. It was beneficial to have so many of our students receive dental health services and walk out with clean and treated teeth. The dental staff was caring, supportive, and professional. Our overall experience was great!
Audra Jimenez, Director of Counseling and Student Support Services
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
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
The staff is warm and they treat the kids and staff with respect. We love to have the visits from the dental staff.

The dentists and dental hygienists are always friendly and very patient with the students. They give the kids positive feedback on their behavior during the exam and procedures.
Tara Lovejoy, School Social Worker Morley Stanwood Elementary
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 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
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.

Excellent, friendly, professional staff. Works well with our special needs students. Love them all!

Janelle Burnett, School Nurse
I was pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive dental services the Smile Program provided for our students. Services were rendered in a professional manner with few tears and drama. Our students genuinely liked the services and staff. I was most impressed by the manner the staff had with difficult students.
Angela Boone, Family Resource Center Coordinator
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 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 am very pleased that some of our students opted to participate because this very well may be the only dental visit they get. Thank you!
Brittani Christman, School Nurse River Elementary
The staff is very professional and compassionate, which is very important to the young students we serve.
