Smile Programs the mobile dentists

At Swansboro Elementary’s “Spring Into Health” health fair, our Virginia team leader Regina Stevens-Smith got a sweet reminder of why this work matters.

“I was really touched by the students who recognized me and just wanted to stop by my table to give me a hug. We are making a difference one smile at a time.” – Regina

Thank you, Swansboro Elementary and Richmond Public Schools for helping connect more children with healthy smiles!

Your everyday magic means so much. ✨ To the school nurses, dental care coordinators and school partners who help make in-school dental care possible for their students — thank you!

Thank you to reporter Mike Murrell and NPR station 88.1 WVPE Public Radio for sharing how in-school dental care is helping Elkhart students get the care they need.

We’re grateful to Elkhart Community Schools for being a true partner in student health — and for helping remove barriers so more children can receive dental care during the school day.

Elkhart Community Schools received a national award for its partnership bringing dental exams, cleanings and treatment to students at school.

Over 60 students received dental care (10% of our students!) by the Smile Dentist team last week! There were lots of sealants done and many x-rays performed. All of the participating students got exams, cleanings and fluoride! If your child participated, they should have brought home a pink form. Way to stay healthy, Rascals!

Where health meets hallways -- On National Dentist’s Day, we’re celebrating those who bring care directly into schools — turning everyday hallways into places of healing.

Because of you, students return to class free from pain, full of confidence and ready to learn. Thank you for the steady, compassionate care you bring to every visit.

Our Dental Assistants prepare each visit with care, support every procedure with professionalism and help students feel comfortable from start to finish. Their compassion and teamwork help make school-based dental visits positive, safe and supportive.

As a parent, you can feel confident knowing your child is cared for by a team that leads with both skill and heart.

Happy Dental Assistants Recognition Week. 💙

Behind every healthy smile is a team that cares deeply about making it happen.

At Melzer Elementary, school leadership and our dental team came together with one shared goal: making sure students have access to the care they deserve. We’re thankful for East Maine School District 63 prioritizing student health — and for team members who show up each day ready to serve with skill, compassion and a whole lot of heart.
