Make a difference by becoming a volunteer and change lives of under-served citizens of Maryland
A typical patient hopes to find dental treatment, get relief from pain, and to restore the ability to chew properly. In addition, many patients find renewed self-esteem, dignity, and confidence.
Others find improved general health once their smile has been restored
Each patient's application is carefully screened by a MFD Patient Care Coordinator.
Qualified applicants must have:
a permanent physical or mental disability or be critically ill, and lack of personal or outside resources for dental care and must have significant oral disease. The PCC conducts a telephone interview with the patient or the patient's representative. There is a strict compliance policy. Patients must keep appointments, be on time, and comply with the dentist's plan of treatment
Dentists are not paid for any of the services provided to the program. The dentists who volunteer for the program are motivated by a desire to give something back to the patient's community that supports their practice. For many dentists, the opportunity to meet the patient and know that they have made a significant and personal contribution is the greatest reward of all.
"It’s so gratifying to see when the case is finished and you see the newfound confidence in their eyes and the satisfying feeling it leaves in your heart. The patient had happy tears when we delivered her max partial with front teeth that she hasn’t had for years.”
