Give Back A Smile
This program was developed to address a need in the communities of AACD members. Volunteer dentists and laboratory technicians agree to restore the broken and damaged teeth of survivors of intimate partner violence. Survivors know that bruises and scars will fade but broken and missing teeth will not. Our generous dentists erase the memories of abuse by restoring the smiles at no cost to the survivor thereby restoring their lives.

Whitening Program
This program was developed as an additional way volunteer dentists can support the AACDCF. Ultradent Products, Inc. and Discus Dental have agreed to donate whitening kits to volunteer dentists. The dental office then offers the whitening kits to their patient for a donation of $225 (USD) to the AACDCF. These funds go directly to supporting the programs of the AACDCF. This brilliant program allows dentists, patients, and the sponsoring companies an opportunity to restore lives.

Disaster Relief Fund
The catastrophic effects of the storms of 2005 in the Gulf Coast region inspired the leaders of the AACD and AACDCF to develop a disaster relief program to support our AACD. In the first year of the program the AACDCF was able to raise and distribute over $80,000 (USD) to members whose practices were directly affected by Katrina and Rita. In 2006, the fund assisted a member on the east coast that was recovering from the major flooding during the summer in that region. The Disaster Relief Fund stands ready to help AACD members in the event of future disasters.
