This program was developed to address a need in the communities of the members of the AACD. Volunteer members of the AACD agree to restore the broken and damaged teeth of survivors of domestic violence. Survivors know that bruises and scars will fade but broken and missing teeth will not. Our generous dentists erase that memory by restoring the smiles at no cost to the survivor thereby restoring their lives.
Whitening Program
This program was developed as an additional way the dentists can support the AACDCF. Ultradent and Discus Dental have agreed to donate whitening kits to volunteer dentists. The dental office then offers the whitening kits to their patient base for a donation of $225 to the AACDCF. These funds go directly to supporting the programs of the AACDCF. This brilliant program allows dentists, patients, and the sponsoring companies an opportunity to restore lives.
Disaster Relief Fund
The catastrophic effects of the storms of 2005 in the Gulf region inspired the leaders of the AACD and AACDCF to develop a at ready disaster relief program to support our members. In the first year of the program we were able to raise and distribute over $80,000 to members whose practices were directly affected by Katrina and Rita. In 2006 the fund assisted a member on the east coast that was recovering from the major flooding during the summer in that region. The Disaster Relief Fund stands ready to help our members in the case of future disasters.
