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.

Richard Helmrich Principal, Our Lady of Grace School
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!!!

The teams professionalism and nurturing and caring demeanor towards our students put them at ease and made it an enjoyable visit.
Several parents stated they were ecstatic about the program because it took a lot off of their minds, having a dentist in their school.
Thank you for turning an apprehensive situation into a pleasant one.
Robyn Hawkins-Julian Parent Coordinator, Ernest S. Jenkyns, PS 202
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
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.

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.
