Donated Dental Services Program

Donated Dental Services (DDS) is a program supported by CDA Foundation and administered by the Dental Lifeline Network, formerly the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped.  DDS links volunteer dentists throughout California with elderly, disabled and medically compromised individuals who cannot afford necessary dental treatment.

A DDS coordinator is responsible for determining eligibility of applicants, linking patients with nearby volunteer dentists, monitoring each patient’s progress through their treatment plan, and coordinating specialist and laboratory services.  Resolving barriers that interfere with care and supporting the dental professionals that participate in the DDS program are the coordinator’s most important responsibilities.

If you would like more information or would like to volunteer, contact the DDS coordinator, Sue Lear by calling 877.357.8660.
