Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
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 students were excited about the dentist’s visit to our school. They have been talking about it every day. Your team was friendly and very professional. As an administrator, I was very impressed with their work and with the way they approached the students. Thank you.
Zulma Tanzer Assistant Principal, PS 150Q
The dentists who came were great. Warm and welcoming to our students and our students love them! Thank you for always ensuring our visits run smoothly.

The families REALLY appreciated and took advantage of this service. The children enjoyed it too,
Yhane Smith School Secretary, Central Park East II
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 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

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.
