What Our School Partners Are Saying...
The program and staff have exceeded my expectations. The services provided are excellent. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The students felt comfortable and relaxed. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Simply put it is an AMAZING program!!! I am already spreading the word to other schools and organizations. Thank you for everything!

We were delighted with the dental service provided by the Smile New York Outreach dental team. Our students were so excited to go to the dentist and the team members were very patient and skillful in working with the children’s nerves and anxiety.

This is such a needed service for our students at FDA II. Thank you for bringing the care to them to meet their needs.
Ashley Maxie-Moreman Community School Director, Frederick Douglass Academy II
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.

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!

Yhane Smith School Secretary, Central Park East II
We had a great experience with the service and look forward to continuing our partnership. Many families found out about their child’s dental needs from this experience. Families really loved having this program in the school as the first experience a child has with a dentist.

Went above and beyond anything we expected. So glad that I found you.

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.
