This is a very important program for public schools!

As always, it was a pleasure having the Mobile Dentist team visit our school. Our children certainly are fortunate to have such a wonderful and beneficial opportunity!
Joanne Conn, School Nurse
It is always a pleasure working with this program. The staff are very friendly and self sufficient. We’re grateful to be able to provide this service to our students who would otherwise possibly go without dental care.
Tanya, School Nurse Bibich Elementary
Very flexible with our special needs students!
Margie Rossander, RN, School Nurse Canterbury Elementary
I love that I can offer this program to my students and their families. Everyone within the organization is friendly and helpful making the service very easy to set up for my school. The clinical staff that treat the kids are amazingly patient and understanding,
Cara Dalton, School Nurse Hardy Elementary School
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
Your team put our students at ease and were able to see 39 students in 2 days. They arrived early and worked tirelessly through the day. Student visits were processed so smoothly that there was no disruption to the educational day. The service you provide is incredible.
Karin Hanger BSN, RN, NCSN, Cradlerock Elementary School
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 team is always efficient and caring. They are good with the students, especially the ones who have some anxiety. They are attentive to detail and I love having them come to the school.
Janelle Burnett, 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
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 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
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
I always appreciate timeliness and professionalism, and that is exactly what your service provided for my center.
V. Carter, Administrator Ready 2 Learn Childcare Center
Your staff was really kid friendly! For some children this was their first experience with the dentist and the Smile Pennsylvania dental team really gave our children excellent dental services. Stephen Girard Elementary School in Philadelphia looks forward to your visits in the future.
Andrea McCoy, CSN, BSN, MHed, School 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!

I’d like to compliment all of your dental team for the excellent service they provided to our kids. Thank you!
Juliana Reyes, Family Resource Coordinator Graves County Central Elementary
Thank you for your excellent service to our school community!
Becky Drummond, Elementary Principal
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
Thanks again for coming and seeing our students! We appreciate the professionalism, kind words, and dental teaching you provided them! The program is so easy to work with and all went well and ran smoothly!
Sharon Chura, Certified School Nurse Purchase Line School District
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
Every comment I heard about the program and staff was overwhelmingly positive!
Steve Basnight, Principal
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.

This dental program runs very independently, with little assistance from school staff. It provides a great service for our students.
Patti Oester, Administrative Assistant Flanagan Grade School
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
This was our first visit from the Smile Programs team and we were extremely pleased with the services we received. The team was on time, professional, patient, and kind with our children. I am looking forward to our 6 month follow up and hope that our participation will continue to increase.
Wendy Adams, LPN, Health Services Coordinator
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
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
Thank you for coming and providing your services to ensure the dental requirements and health of our children are met at Head Start!
Valerie Dierckman, Health Specialist II
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
As always, we are very happy with your service. Your friendliness and professionalism is outstanding!
Mary Beth Delano, RN Cople Elementary
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 team was excellent with the kids, and they met and exceeded my expectations by doing everything they promised. The teachers also agree that this is a valuable service that we should continue to offer. We’re looking forward to making this a permanent program and growing it in the future.
Dan Goetz, RN, Nurse
Extremely friendly staff, and the students loved their toothbrushes!

Tina Perry, RN, 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 a pleasure to work with an efficient and caring team!
Saundra L. Davis, RN, School Nurse Lincoln Elementary
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
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
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you!
Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
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
