Overview

Mission

The Florida dental association foundation is the charitable arm of the Florida dental association, promoting dental health for all floridians.

What it reported doing in 2024

Dental health/ education programs: dental health and education programs including contributions, humanitarian award to help in dental health projects and dental care for indigent or underserved children and adults. The dds programs help individuals with disabilities or the elderly or medically fragile and cannot afford or otherwise access treatment for severe dental conditions. Qualified patient files are reviewed by volunteer dentists who accept or decline a patient prior to treatment. Patients are then treated in the office of the volunteer and the dds coordinator arranges for specialist or lab services.
