The Smile New York Outreach Dental Team was professional and friendly. They made the students feel at ease. They worked so efficiently it was like they were not even here. This was a wonderful service for our students and I look forward to having the team back. Thank you.

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.

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.
