Making a Difference
To care for those in need is at the heart of the CDA Foundation. Through the generosity of countless volunteers and donors, we’re creating lasting change for California’s most vulnerable citizens. The Foundation is making an impact on health equity in our state through comprehensive and ongoing direct patient care, education, mental health and wellness, dental practice staffing pathways, and results-driven grants and awards.
CDA Cares
CDA Cares exemplifies the best of our dental community in action. We’re impacting lives, restoring dignity and creating smiles.
Wellness Program

Over 30,000 Smiles
About five million Californians have no dental insurance (private or public). The California Dental Association and CDA Foundation host CDA Cares, a program that allows volunteer dentists, with the assistance of other dental professionals and community volunteers, to provide dental services at no charge.
