Review for Pacific Dental Services Foundation, Irvine, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Mobile Dental Clinic, Dental Assistant Scholarship and International Trips!

I am beyond grateful to have been able to actively volunteer with the PDS Foundation over the last 3 years!

Lets start with the Mobile Dental Clinic! Traveling to multiple states being able to provide modern dentistry to communities all around the country all on a bus. Its not only providing patients with modern dentistry its giving dental assistant students the opportunity to serve along side me and others in the industry. I get the opportunity to provide same day dentistry to patients and train and develop the next generation of dental assistants. Showing them the value of being able to share your passion for dentistry with those in your community.

Dental Assistant Scholarship! Supporting and mentoring the next generation of dental assistant leaders. Ensuring dental assistant students have the opportunity to purse their career and provide the financial support that is so hard to find theses days with student loans not always available . Taking it one step further to ensure the scholarship provides the opportunity to network with the best of the best in the dental industry. I am proud to be the mentor of this scholarship as its not just financial support its an opportunity to growing personally and professional as a dental assistant in the dental industry!

Last International Trips! Guatemala will forever be a place I hold close to my heart, from the friendships, smiles, laughs and tears of gratitude. I was able to provide dentistry to all ages in a very short time period of time, on average seeing 40 patients a day. Cherry on top was being able to help both dental students and dental assistant students elevate their clinic skills as we sit side by side them, working towards perfecting their clinical skills. Its one thing to provide dentistry in Guatemala it is another to invest your time in those who will stay after we leave to ensure access to dentistry is always available.
