Texas Donated Dental Services (TXDDS)

TXDDS is a charity dental program operated since November 2000. Developed by the National Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped (NFDH), TXDDS uses volunteer dentists and labs to provide comprehensive dentistry to qualified individuals who cannot access care any other way. TXDDS cannot provide emergency care because we operate with an application-based, first-come first-serve process.

Patient Qualifications

TXDDS patients must be either over the age of 55 OR have a permanent disability, and must have no other way to obtain dental care. If you meet either of these criteria and would like an application, please click here.  

Dental Volunteerism

Over 700 dental professionals volunteer to see one TXDDS patient in their office each year. If you are a dentist and are interested in learning more about the program, please  click here.
