Did you see our “Dentists Rock” advertisement on the bottom of page F-8 in Sunday’s Austin American-Statesman? The Capital Area Dental Foundation is proud to announce our new partnership with the Austin American-Statesman.  As an official Community Connections partner, the CADF will receive two free ads per year (worth $500/each).

Because our dentists make everything we do possible, we dedicated our first advertisement to thank our amazing volunteers.

If you are a dentist and are interested in volunteering your time and talent, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Missy Quintana at missyquintana@yahoo.com.  We have lots of options that fit your schedule and interests.  Some of our newest programs, including our partnership with Central Health and the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians are compensated programs.

The Capital Area Dental Foundation was featured in an October 3 article by the Austin Business Journal, entitled:  “Dental Foundation working to help those in need.”

Here is an excerpt of the article:

About four years ago, Capital Area Dental Society realized if it wanted to provide life-changing dental care to more low-income people, it need to create a service-oriented foundation.

 

The a-ha moment came to the 80-year-old society when it found itself in a bit of a rut. The society had been turning to the same volunteers and donors year after year, said dentist Kavin Kelp, chairman of the Capital Area Dental Foundation.
