We’re connecting Californians in need to essential oral health care through volunteer-led clinics.
The CDA Foundation hosts CDA Cares, a program that allows volunteer dentists, with the assistance of other dental and health professionals and community volunteers, to provide dental services at no charge to individuals throughout the state. As part of the Foundation’s mission to improve the oral health of all Californians, this program provides essential treatment and helps connect patients to dental homes.
Even after a long day of providing oral health services, volunteer dentists are usually smiling from ear to ear. See for yourself how Foundation events transform lives by bringing life-changing dental treatment to people who experience barriers to care.
