Our Academy of Medical student ambassadors and the Dental team worked together making certain students were on time and the necessary documentation was received. Next year we hope to have more students participate in this great program.
Sandra Piacente Assistant Principal, Charles E. Gorton High School
The team was superb and very sensitive to the dentistry needs of our students. Our students experienced a gentle hand and a warm embrace from all of the dental team members, who eliminated their worries and fears. They came in early and most importantly, they needed only minimum assistance in order to get the exams done. They performed efficiently and were well organized. Bravo to this team and all the teams that have assisted the Weeksville School, ensuring our students have a healthy smile!! Thanks again teams!

Smile New York Outreach has surpassed my expectations. Their professionalism and their warmth toward our students is wonderful. I also welcome their outreach to parents for follow up. This year we had cavities filled as well which has helped our families and their children tremendously. I have recommended them to other communities school and will continue to do so.

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.
