Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
This is an EXCELLENT program, especially for young children who haven’t visited a dentist yet.
Yolanda Parent Coordinator, P.S. 63 Q
This is a wonderful service. So many of our students were seen and look forward to the next time they come. They are able to be professional and efficient on an auditorium stage!
Jeanna Dickerson Prinicpal, PS 138 The Samuel Randall School
We had a great experience with the service and look forward to continuing our partnership. Many families found out about their child’s dental needs from this experience. Families really loved having this program in the school as the first experience a child has with a dentist.
Nicolas Cracco Assistant Principal, PS 185
I simply love this! The team was terrific with our students. Some of our students never experienced being seen by a dentist, so this was a real milestone for them! The team made them aware of the procedures and made them as comfortable as possible! Others have experienced these visits and were more comfortable and knew what to expect. Can we have you as our dental partners for next school year?
Diane Lawrence Dental Coordinator, P.S. 243/The Weeksville School
The Dental Team did a phenomenal job. Thank you for your service to my community. I am also grateful that two of my seniors, who are interested in the dentistry field, were able to shadow the team.
Gregory Wooten Parent Coordinator, PS/IS 165

We are so happy to work together to provide dental services to our students.
Desiree Grand Director of Operations, Heketi Community Charter School
The dental teams that I have encountered from Smile New York Outreach have been very friendly and efficient. They provide a service that has been so helpful for our families, and the scholars seem to get excited to go to the dentist right here at school! I also want to point out how helpful and flexible the school liaisons have been. They are wonderful with communication and provide all materials necessary to ensure a seamless process from beginning to end. I’m truly glad that I encountered this service, and I have already referred others to the program. I look forward to working with Smile New York Outreach again next year.
Hythia Bell School Counselor, AF Apollo Elementary School

Smile New York Outreach is here to help fight the war on dental decay, one child at a time.
Did You Know?
More than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to poor dental health.
Untreated cavities can cause pain, infection, and problems eating, speaking, and learning.
About 20% of kids ages 5 to 11 have at least one untreated decayed tooth.
Dental Sealants prevent 80% of cavities in the back teeth, where 9 in 10 cavites occur.
Children without sealants have almost three times more cavities than those with sealants.
