DentaCheques is an annual fundraising program sponsored by Colgate, the Dental Trade Alliance and Delta Dental Plans of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Sales of the valued book of coupons to dental offices provide the major revenue component for the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped (NFDH).
Since inception, the NFDH in collaboration with Donated Dentistry Services (DDS), an organization of more than 13,000 dentists and 3,000 dental lab volunteers, has coordinated over $120 million in care for more than 80,000 needy elderly, disabled and medically compromised individuals. Revenue from the DentaCheques program has driven the expansion of DDS to 38 states and directly underpins “safety-net” operations in the remaining 12 states and the District of Columbia.
The National Foundation for Dentistry for the Handicapped and the Dental Trade Alliance acknowledges with sincere appreciation the companies and sales representatives that make the DentaCheques program a success.
