Pacific Dental Services' affiliated offices donated more than $1.5 million in pro bono dentistry in 2011.
Most of this was accomplished through their participation in Smile Generation Serve Day, in which more than 140 offices and 350 dentists provided various dental services.
Pacific Dental Services also donated more than $337,000 to charity: water, a nonprofit organization focused on providing clean drinking water to people around the world. Donations were given according to various treatments performed in their affiliated dental offices. Through these actions, they were able to provide clean drinking water to more than 16,850 people, according to the company.
In addition, in November 2011, more than 200 Pacific Dental Services volunteers and affiliated dentists gathered in San Bernardino, CA, at Casa Ramona Academy to help KaBoom, a nonprofit organization, build a playground for the school and provide nearly $80,000 in donated dental services.
