“We love our dentist! She is the best ever. She is so good with my special needs child.”
Father of Patient KinderSmile Foundation Bloomfield, NJ
“Thank you to the dental surgery team for easing our nerves and for communicating with my non-verbal son in a way that he could understand–by using his favorite stuffed animal as a“patient!” Thank you for treating him with dignity, but most especially, love.”
Mother of Patient St. Bernard Dental Center Chicago, IL
“For large families, our center has become a trusted dental home. Older children who have had procedures completed share their positive experiences with younger siblings, so they aren’t fearful.”
Dr. Travis Nelson University of Washington Center for Pediatric Dentistry Seattle, WA
“When a three-year-old boy arrived to the clinic, he was in tremendous pain with severe tooth decay and had never seen a dentist before. Thanks to funding from the Access to Care Grant, we were able to treat him under full anesthesia, allowing him to get the care he needed without fear or pain. Now he is extremely happy and loves to smile. His family expresses their gratitude to all the donors who helped make this change in his life.”
Volunteer Pediatric Dentist Community Volunteers in Medicine West Chester, PA
“Thank you to the amazing staff for treating my daughter with so much patience and love. You guys rock!”
Nessa, Mother of Patient KinderSmile Foundation Bloomfield, NJ
“I was surprised when Juanita came to my door after missing her phone calls. She offered to provide rides to the clinic. I felt overwhelmed doing it by myself and she made sure I had the support I needed. She was very helpful. I am truly grateful to the AAPD Foundation for helping this program!”
Mother of Patients Cook Children’s Medical Center Fort Worth, TX
