Detailed Introduction

School Smiles is a comprehensive mobile dental program that delivers on-site dental services directly to schools for children of all ages (PreK-12). Their core mission is to enhance the oral health of children and minimize the significant number of school hours lost annually due to dental problems (estimated at 51 million nationally). They achieve this by providing convenient and reliable dental care within the familiar and safe environment of the school. The services offered by School Smiles are extensive and include preventive and comprehensive treatments such as dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), restorations/fillings, crowns, and extractions. All patients also receive a complimentary toothbrush, toothpaste, and other oral hygiene products. A key aspect of their model is accessibility; they provide services for both insured and uninsured children, ensuring that no child is turned away due to inability to pay. The program requires no cost or commitment from the participating schools or districts. School Smiles boasts a low referral rate (less than 4-5%) to other dentists, as they are equipped to provide follow-up care, including fillings, directly at the school. This integrated approach reduces barriers to care like transportation and scheduling challenges for families. School Smiles operates by setting up a "mini dental clinic" within the school, utilizing portable equipment and a network of licensed dentists, hygienists, and assistants. Their staff manages all aspects of the visit, from set-up to patient care, with minimal disruption to the school day. Testimonials from schools and parents consistently highlight the program's professionalism, kid-friendly approach, and the immense value it provides, especially in rural areas where access to dental facilities is limited.

I was so excited about school smiles going to my son's school and us being able to pay a very inexpensive fee out of pocket. Checked all the boxes of being hassle free and affordable. But then they didn't get my child seen. So of course I do my due diligence and call and email to find out what happened. I will always give the benefit of the doubt.

Calling led me to full voicemail boxes and no one returning my call. I found an email address and again informed of the situation and was told that it was being looked into and no information. Currently requesting a refund and hoping it is processed back to me. This would not be at 1 star if there was actual communication happening but here we are.

Great company that schedules exams and treatments for the kids by coordinating dental days with the school nurse. Very professional and saves parents from needing to take a day off work.

We had a wonderful experience with School Smiles. Nicole, the Patient Coordinator, was very responsive to phone calls and emails. She answered all of my questions about how the program works and what to expect. I did not want to consent to certain procedures if they were needed and the process for adding notes to my file was simple.

I actually went to the school the day the dentist arrived and both the technician and dentist were extremely kind. They made my children feel comfortable and safe. I self-paid for the exam and it was an easy phone call. Thank you, School Smiles! You made going to the dentist easy and affordable for our family!

I have no clue what this programs deal is but I'm not sure of how legitimate it is. My son was scheduled to be seen. I received updates saying he was being seen. He got home from school saying he wasn't seen nor did they make any type of announcement of them coming. I received a text shortly from Smiles saying my child wasn't seen because they either ran out of time or my child was absent? I contacted the school because this seemed very off only to be told by the school secretary they were never scheduled to come to his school at all.

They had no idea what this company was doing either. When I told customer service they didn't address anything about them but even being there to begin with. So save your time.
