FOR DENTISTS
THE NETWORK
As a volunteer, you will be part of DLN’s national network of 12,350 volunteer dentists and 3,300 volunteer laboratories, working together to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
THE NEED
DLN facilitates donated, comprehensive treatment to vulnerable people with disabilities, the elderly or those who are medically compromised. The need for dental care in the U.S. is great. In 2016 more than 2 million U.S. emergency room visits were attributed to neglected teeth. We need volunteers like you to help serve the more than 5,000 people on our wait list.
HOW IT WORKS
Volunteering made easy. We handle the details, you provide the care in your office and on your schedule. Our local coordinators screen patients to confirm eligibility, help ensure that patients show up to their appointments, coordinate lab work and specialty care, and serve as a liaison between your staff and the patient.
