California Dental Association Foundation and CDA host CDA Cares to provide free dental care April 27-28 at Anaheim Convention Center
What:Â Â
The California Dental Association Foundation and CDA are hosting a two-day CDA Cares dental clinic to provide free oral health care to about 1,900 people. Dentists and dental professionals will provide fillings, extractions, cleanings, limited dentures and partial dentures, root canals on front teeth, oral health education and assistance finding ongoing care. Patients are seen on a first-come, first served basis. Â
When: Friday, April 27: Doors open at 5:30 a.m. Where: Anaheim Convention Center, Hall E Why: An estimated 30 percent of Californians face barriers to dental care. CDA Cares educates the public and policymakers about the importance of good oral health and the need for a state Medicaid dental program (Denti-Cal) that works. The program is chronically underfunded and leaves many, including the working poor, without access to care. |
