Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
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!

Your services were great. I can not say enough about the services. Thank you so much for choosing my school.
Joyce Batts Parent Coordinator, P.S. 298
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.

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.
