Give Special Kids A Smile 2018
On February 10th 2018, over 65 volunteers from SACDS, the Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry, the Union City Dental Care Center, the Eden Area ROP Dental Assisting School, and the Cal State East Bay Pre-Dental Group came together to provide free dentistry to special needs patients. We screened and treated patients with both physical and/or developmental disabilities. Over $28,000 worth of dental care was donated. Assembly member Bill Quirk stopped by to see us in action and to learn more about the issues surrounding access to care. SACDS member Dr. Steve Chan who currently serves on the Dental Board of California's Access to Care committee was on hand to offer his expertise, and then put on his gown and treated several pediatric patients. This was a magical day for everyone involved, and we can't say THANK YOU enough to our all our volunteers!
