Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
This program is excellent, organized, and professional. We always have an amazing experience with them.
Ryan Radow Teacher, Lincoln Elementary
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.
Maria Brancale Community School Director, PS 78
The Smile New York Outreach staff were patient, professional and very friendly. Their efficiency in coordinating with the school staff to service our students was good and many of our students were able to receive services they might not have otherwise received. We look forward to their return next school year.
Yasmin Davidson School Nurse, M.S. 358Q/ P.S. 349Q
The dentist was very kind, warm and considerate of the needs of the students and made them feel comfortable.
Grace Ruffo Program Coordinator, PS 62 Chester Park
I am amazed by the staff who come to the school to provide dental services to scholars who need them. They were professional, friendly, supportive, and patient.
I want to thank SMILE NEW YORK OUTREACH for partnering with our school to support wellness and dental health.I would recommend the SMILE NEW YORK OUTREACH to any school!! We thank you for helping us create a “community school” with wrap-around services before the buzz phrase was created by the Mayor’s office. We appreciate you and look forward to your return next year!!!

Our entire school community absolutely loved the program!
Allison Walsh Parent Coordinator, Linden Tree Elementary, PS 567
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
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.

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.
