Parents, keep your children healthy with in-school dental care.
What Our School Partners Are Saying...
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
Your staff was very pleasant, professional and made the students feel at ease. I would recommend your program to all the schools.

Karoline Alexander Community School Director, CS 154 The Harriet Tubman Learning Center
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!

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.

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.
