WHAT'S HAPPENING
|
Affordable Dental Care is committed to sharing with our donors what is happening in our clinics. 1 in 3 people are without access to dental care they can afford but through the generous help of individuals and organizations who support making a change, we are able to share these stories of hope, health and opportunity. It's missions, local.

Image 1. Dental missions are at the heart of our existence. Dedicated to an annual foreign dental mission trip, we were honored to have some staff participate in a volunteer week in the Dominican Republic serving some pretty amazing children!
Image 2. A few pics from the Whitewater Health and Wellness Fair that ADC loves to participate in annually in Whitewater.
Image 3. Andrew Joudrey of the Capitals Hockey is a man with a purpose! As the players come to live, eat and breath hockey as Junior league players, Andrew strives to open their eyes to what's going on outside the rink, something many focused athletes do not get to experience. Things like being part of the Reading Project and piling into our ADC clinic to hear from our doctor Meyer, Jen and even the dad of a young patient in the chair are all amazing parts of these young men growing into well rounded people. Andrew, thank you for heart!
Image 4. Jane, as we will call her, is a victim of physical and mental abuse in her home. For nearly a year, she was trying to manage her dental pain through home remedies of ice packs and salt on her infected teeth. When the pain became unbearable, a friend recommended and arranged her appointments to ADC. Jane has no job, no car, no money. It is part of the method her partner uses to control her. "I am so grateful for the help. I want to share my story to help others and my goal is to someday be in the position to be the one helping." Jane is a mother of 4 and is working toward getting out of her abusive situation.
Image 5. "We can choose to be affected by the world or we can choose to affect the world." Wow, we cannot even thank the kids of Deerfield Elementary enough for their amazing participation in the Penny Wars for ADC. Congrats to the second graders for raising the most funds to provide affordable and scholarship dentistry to kids who's families could not otherwise afford dental care. Dental pain is the #1 reason why kids in America miss school.
