Donated Dental Services

As many of my patients know, I am a volunteer for an organization called Donated Dental Services. This is a program of Dental Lifeline Network. Since 1974 Dental Lifeline Network has been coordinating care for our society’s most vulnerable individuals.  People with disabilities or who are elderly or indigent.  I am one of   thousands of volunteer dentist across the country who donates time and materials to provide comprehensive care to these needy people in all 50 states.

Though volunteers like me donate our services,   some money is needed to support our work.  Dental   Lifeline Services manages the applications and qualification assessments, matches patients to participating dentists, coordinates care with specialists and provides support and treatment follow up for the patients.
            
Last year Dental Lifeline Services provided life-transforming care for 7,572 deserving individuals. Yet there are over 17,000 still on the waiting   list, and more call every day. All of us who partner with Dental Lifeline Network are committed to serving these desperately needy people, but it will be increasingly more difficult as previous financial resources are eliminated.

Please join me in making a gift that will restore dignity, hope and health to needy people. Each $1 donated generates $9 in life changing care. You can make your tax-deductible donation online at www.DentalLifeline.org  or mail your check payable to Dental Lifeline Network at 1800 15th Street, Denver, CO 80202. If you have any questions please contact Heather O’Connor at 888-471-6334.
