An important message from Maryjane Puffer, Executive Director, Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health.
Thank you for working with our students! Your staff has always been adaptable to the conditions at our school, with a friendly, professional manner. The students who are seen are appreciative of the care you provide. Thanks so much!
Christine Novak, RN, BSN, NCSN, School Nurse New Bern High School
They did amazing! We had students who refused to open their mouths when they went to the dentist with their family that let the Smile Programs dentist examine their teeth here at the school.
Sarah Dean, School Nurse Franklin Learning Center
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
Having the dental team here at the high school for a day was wonderful. Thank you!
Patty Skinner, School Nurse Trimble High School
The dental team was on time, friendly, and professional.
Karen Richardson, RN, CHN Wheatley Education Campus
We loved the team that came! They truly sought to serve kids well, and worked hard to make sure everyone received excellent serve.
Kalie George, Executive Director
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
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
The program is great, and really helps a lot of families which cannot get these services, or never thought to get these services done.

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
The dental team made the visit extremely easy for the office. They had a list of all the students to be seen with teacher names. All I needed to do was provide a location, room numbers, and a daily schedule. They were all very professional.
Michelle Siegeler, School Administrative Assistant
Wonderful, kind, fast and efficient!
Holly Avery, Administrative Assistant Whitehall Shoreline Elementary

Nicolas Perez, Principal Cheltenham Elementary
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
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Smile Program. The friendly service the team provides helps to fill the gap in access to oral health care for children under age 5 in our community.

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!

Vanessa Faine, School Nurse
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
This is a very important program for public schools!
Betty Girsch, RN, School Nurse
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
Great on-site team, professional, timely, and ready to assist the audience. Wonderful suggestions offered for next year’s event. Thank you again for providing screenings to the children of our participants; we greatly appreciated you joining us!
Kim Price, Community Health Educator, Blue Cross Complete of Michigan
