Dental Lifeline Network’s Donated Dental Services (DDS) program provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to our country’s most vulnerable people with disabilities or who are elderly or need medically necessary dental care. In addition, we support many veterans through our DDS program. These are people who cannot afford the necessary treatment and cannot get public aid. The program operates through a volunteer network of 12,500 dentists and 3,200 dental labs across the United States. Since its inception in 1985, our DDS program has surpassed $500 million in donated dental therapies, transforming the lives of 170,000 people.
