Dr. Rob Brown Superintendent, Jeff Davis County Schools

Christina Spurlock Nurse, Finch Elementary

“The Help A Child Smile Dental Mobile has been coming to our school since 2002. Before they started seeing students in our school I was seeing kids in the clinic on a daily basis with toothache from cavities. I seldom see kids now with these problems. Students are healthier, they have more self-confident, bright smile cavity free and stay in class so they can get the education they need.”
Patricia Buck Nurse, Clay County School

“If I were asked the question, “What would I consider to be one of the most beneficial outside resources and life changing things in elementary school for the kids”, I would have to say that “it’s the
HELP A CHILD SMILE Dental Program”.
I used to see a tremendous number of kids with poor oral care, weekly. Some had never been to a dentist, and some had dental caries decayed down to the gums. I even saw a few that had never owned a tooth brush. It was heart breaking. The team on the Dental Van has reinforced what our teachers teach them about the importance of oral care and long term goals.
I rarely see toothaches or abscesses anymore. I feel the credit goes to our “HELP A CHILD SMILE DENTAL PROGRAM”. Thanks for all you do for our kids!”
Debbie Britt RN Nurse, Cherokee Elementary

Help a Child Smile has been a true blessing to Ridge Road Primary School. Living in a rural county has limitations regarding access to affordable dental care. Many local providers do not accept the insurance many of our students have thereby causing students to seek out of town treatment. Transportation is another factor that limits dental care and treatment for our students. Help a Child Smile meets all of these needs and many more for our students
Georgia Larimore Assistant Principal, Ridge Road Primary
