Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
Went above and beyond anything we expected. So glad that I found you.
Karlene H. Kerr, RN Staff Nurse, PS721X@McSweeney OTC
From the beginning to the very end, the staff has been awesome! They have made our students feel at ease about going to the dentist and also further installed good hygiene in our children. Looking forward to having them come out again!
Koren Small Parent Coordinator, The Bay School PS/MS 105
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 families REALLY appreciated and took advantage of this service. The children enjoyed it too,
Yhane Smith School Secretary, Central Park East II
Smile New York Outreach is a wonderful in-school dental 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. Thank You. The dental staff was caring, supportive and professional. Our overall experience was great!
Audra Jimenez Director of Counseling and Student Support Services, Storefront Academy Harlem
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
Smile New York Outreach is a wonderful program, which has really exceeded my expectations. The staff is very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend this program to other schools. It helps to improve student attendance. I really love this program.
Jean-Marie Blair Parent Coordinator, Community School 300
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!
Diane Lawrence Special Education Liaison/Health Coordinator, The Weeksville School/P.S. 243
This is an EXCELLENT program, especially for young children who haven’t visited a dentist yet.
Yolanda Parent Coordinator, P.S. 63 Q
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.

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.
