Access To Care

This is the reason for the CDA Foundation’s existence. Born as a philanthropic affiliate of the California Dental Association, the intent of the CDA Foundation is to increase access to dental care for vulnerable people.

There are endless opportunities for the greater good if these efforts are coordinated, leveraged, and constructed with strategic intent. At CDA Foundation, this is our commission. Since our beginning, the CDA Foundation has strategically sought to offer programs that ultimately benefit the underserved, those who are currently unable to receive access to oral care.

In alignment with our mission to improve the oral health of all Californians by supporting the dental professional and its efforts to meet community needs, the CDA Foundation leadership is continually examining existing and future programs and services to ensure that they are indeed meeting the needs of the most critical segments of the population and increasing access to care to vulnerable people.
