How we do it<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Delivering Solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
The Capital Area Dental Foundation (CADF) is involved in several innovative programs:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Donated Dental services (DDS)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CADF provides comprehensive dental care\u2014including extractions, dentures, oral surgery or whatever else may be needed\u2014for disabled adults, or those over 55 with serious dental issues. In 2010, we hired a part-time care coordinator dedicated to serving just the Capital Area with impressive results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dentists on Campus (DoCs)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most cost-effective ways to promote oral health is to reach out to children at an early age and teach the entire family about healthy habits. Through our partnership with the St. David\u2019s Foundation, volunteer dentists visit low-income elementary schools once a year to show 3rd graders how to properly care for their teeth. Since 2010, we have reached more than 3,000 AISD schoolchildren.<\/p>\n

Central Health<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, poor and disabled adults may wait weeks or months to receive the dental care they need at area clinics. A pilot program with Central Health allows Capital Area dentists to treat patients enrolled in the Medical Assistance Program\u2014in the comfort, convenience\u2014and efficiency\u2014of their own offices. We expect to deliver more than $500,000 in care in our first year. It\u2019s a win-win for everyone.<\/p>\n

Volunteer & Financial support of Community Dental Clinics<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Capital Area dentists have provided thousands of hours of volunteer dental services and direct financial support to clinics such as the Jack Sansing Clinic, Manos de Cristo, Mobile Loaves and Fishes and others.<\/p>\n
