Every year, dentists across Central Texas donate their time and talent to people in desperate need of oral health care. Some of this charitable care is provided throughout the year through programs administered by organizations like the Capital Area Dental Foundation (CADF). Still other charitable care is provided by dentists on specific days as part of a community-wide special event. A great example of this type of charitable giving is the second annual “Serve Day,” organized by Austin Modern Dentistry and Orthodontics in partnership with CADF and the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM).
On August 11, local dentists and dental care professionals from Austin Modern Dentistry and Orthodontics spent the day providing pro bono dental care, including cleanings, exams and fillings, to local Austin musicians in need. Supplies and equipment were also donated.
CADF Chairman, Dr. Kavin Kelp, along with CADF Treasurer, Dr. Stan La Croix attended the August 11 event. “This is a great example of groups working together to make a difference in the live of those in the community. CADF would like to thank Austin Modern Dentistry for their generosity and dedication to making this event a success,” said Dr. Kelp.
A special thanks to CADF program coordinator, Charlotte Laguna, for scheduling the HAAM patients.
