The Foundation then pays the dentist the remaining balance. Volunteer dentists and the Dental Society administers the program. This keeps the overhead very low and allows contributed funds to reach needy clients with minimal dilution. There are nine board members, and most are practicing dentists. All dentists in the program are members of the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society, the California Dental Association and the American Dental Association.
Monetary contributions are always welcome and are tax deductible to the extent that the law allows.
