Courtney Russell Principal, Metropolitan Lighthouse Charter School
It was amazing having Smile New York Outreach at our school. I even let the Chancellor know how seamless the program was at our building and how many students were able to receive dental services.
Kelly Cintron Assistant Principal, 29Q131
Our entire experience with Smile New York Outreach was wonderful. The office staff was friendly, organized and helpful in answering all of our questions and getting our school scheduled and our children signed up. The dental team that came to our school was professional and efficient. They made time for every single one of our kids who wanted to be seen and were warm and welcoming, particularly to our younger kindergarteners who were a bit nervous. The on-the-ground manager Gabby was extremely organized and helped the process move along swiftly so that kids did not miss too much time out of their academic subjects. I would absolutely recommend Smile New York Outreach to all schools!
Julia Simmons School Social Worker , Achievement First Endeavor Elementary School
The Smile New York Outreach staff were patient, professional and very friendly. Their efficiency in coordinating with the school staff to service our students was good and many of our students were able to receive services they might not have otherwise received. We look forward to their return next school year.

It was wonderful having the dental staff at the school. Everyone was professional and very kind to the children. Nicole was also very helpful with the planning and logistics of the visit.
Katherine Ortega School Counselor, PS110Q
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.

The service was great. The students are always excited to see the dentist. They (Dentist/technicians) explained to the students how to take care of their teeth.

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.
