The Dental Care Access Foundation was formed by local dentists in our community attempting to help ease the emergency room visits of individuals with dental pain, infection and swelling.

We partner with local area dentists and specialists across our tri-county area to take one or two patients a month in their private practices to help patients suffering from emergencies. We utilize volunteers under the protection of the State of Florida Department of Health Volunteer Health Care Provider Program.

We create awareness of dental infections, and how infections can affect an individual's overall health.  We focus on educating children on the importance of oral hygiene and prevention of tooth decay by targeting at risk communities across Central Florida.  We provide oral hygiene education and prevention to children in elementary schools and provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and fluoride varnish.
 
We provide continuing education credit for volunteers equivalent to one credit for one hour of volunteerism. This applies to volunteerism in your office as well as events and volunteerism in our outlying clinics, events and schools.
