Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
This program is excellent. All schools should participate. The kids were very excited and some mentioned that the visit to the dentist is not as scary as they thought. Your staff is awesome and caring Our students were very happy.
Zoraida Olivo Operations Manager, Beginning with Children Charter School
Great service. Coordinators were very patient and worked well with office staff. High percentage of children were seen.
Wanda Andujar Director of Operations , NYC Montessori Charter 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
This is a wonderful service. So many of our students were seen and look forward to the next time they come. They are able to be professional and efficient on an auditorium stage!

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
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 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.
Hythia Bell School Counselor, AF Apollo Elementary School
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 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.

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.
