Dentists on Campus (DOCS) Touch Lives of Nearly 2,000 Elementary School Students

One of the ways CADF dentists change lives is by reaching out to young children and their families through the Dentists on Campus (DOCS) program.

Dentists spend a few hours at an AISD school—providing hands-on instruction on healthy oral health habits. Children are provided with goodie bags that include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and information to share with family about ways to prevent dental disease.

It’s a win-win for everyone and an easy way for dentists to give back to the community.

In February and March, 21 CADF volunteers visited 18 underserved elementary school campuses in the Austin area—serving nearly 2,000 elementary school students!

A special thanks to CADF dentists, Ensy Atarod and Stan LaCroix for their leadership and commitment to making the DOCS program the success that it is today.
