The California Dental Association provided $1.46 million in dental care at its 16th volunteer dental clinic in San Bernardino, Calif., Sept. 27-28.
CDA Cares provided free dental care to 1,626 people, with dental professionals performing more than 10,000 procedures in the two days. The event was run by 1,400 volunteers, including health professionals and community volunteers who assisted with registration, language translation and data entry.
