VALLEJO, Calif., March 14, 2019 – Western Dental volunteers recently gathered at the Solano County Fairgrounds in support of CDA Cares, a two-day dental clinic that provides free dental care to Californians in need.

According to the CDA, nearly 1,500 patients received care and more than 8,900 procedures were performed, including fillings, extractions and cleanings.  

“Patients were treated with great respect and left with a visible sense of joy about the care they received,” said Dr. Audrey Nguyen, a volunteer from the Western Dental office in Watsonville. “I was so glad to be a part of it.”

CDA Cares is a California Dental Association (CDA) Foundation program that allows dental and medical professionals, including dentists, oral surgeons, hygienists, dental assistants, lab techs, physicians, nurses, and pharmacists, to provide free dental services to those in need, with support from other community volunteers.

Western Dental, one of the nation’s leaders in accessible, affordable oral healthcare and the leading orthodontics provider in the country, is a frequent supporter of CDA Cares events around the state. It has participated in the past 11 clinics and helped thousands of patients in locations like Pomona, Sacramento, Stockton, San Mateo, Bakersfield and Anaheim.

Volunteers for the Solano County event were provided from various Western Dental offices in Northern California.

“There is a real need filled at these events by our doctors and by others who generously give of their time,” said Dr. John Luther, chief dental officer of Western Dental. “Our volunteers are always grateful for the experience and enjoy the way the medical community comes together as one to provide some terrific services.”
