Program Description:
UPDATE: AS OF 9/14/17 THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS DUE TO LARGE BACKLOG: The Donated Dental Services (DDS) Program coordinates volunteer dentists and dental labs who provide one-time comprehensive dental treatment to disabled, elderly, or medically compromised people who have NO financial means to pay for dental care, and cannot access such care through Medicaid or other public programs. Through the DDS program, eligible patients are referred to volunteers who restore the person to good oral health. The program is operated by Dental Lifeline Network (www.dentallifeline.org). This program aims to provide dental treatment, not routine cleaning and exams or emergency dental care. Approximate wait time is about 9-12 months.
