The Adopt a Patient program pairs volunteer dentists with patients who are in need of a course of dental care.
The ADA Dental Health Foundation works alongside volunteer dental professionals, community organisations, donors and supporters to improve access to dental care for Australians experiencing disadvantage.
Many of the people referred to our programs are living with persistent dental pain, difficulty eating, reduced confidence and social isolation. Others are recovering from homelessness, family and domestic violence, financial hardship, mental health challenges, addiction, illness or disability. For many, dental treatment is simply out of reach.
Working in partnership with registered charities and not-for-profit organisations, we connect eligible patients with volunteer dental practitioners who generously donate their time, skills and resources to help restore oral health, dignity and wellbeing.
