| • Dental Donated Services |
|
The Donated Dental Services (DDS) program is a collaborative, direct
way that the dental profession reaches out to individuals with special
needs.
Because of the extraordinary compassion of over 13,000 dentists and
3,000 dental laboratories across the country, DDS tends to the essential
and comprehensive dental care needs of our nation’s most vulnerable
people; disabled, elderly or medically-compromised individuals who
cannot afford necessary treatment nor get public aid.
Our office has been a volunteer member since 2008 and provides FREE
dental care to patients who have been accepted into the program.
