SEPTEMBER 2019 – The Donated Dental Services (DDS) program provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to our country’s most vulnerable people with disabilities or who are elderly or medically fragile. These are people who cannot afford necessary treatment and cannot get public aid. The program operates through a volunteer network of 15,000 dentists and 3,500 dental labs across the United States. Since its inception in 1985, our DDS program has surpassed $378 million in donated dental therapies, transforming the lives of 120,550 people. Dr. Foster has been a volunteer dentist with this program since 2015 and has provided free care to many local patients in need.
