Our Story
How We Started
In 2009, access to dental services was identified as
the number one social service need in Pinellas County.
In 2011, united with a shared vision for providing affordable dental services, The Salvation Army, Clearwater Free Clinic and Arc of Tampa Bay collaborated to establish the Community Dental Clinic.
In 2013, the clinic opened its doors to the community - supported by the donations of gracious individuals, foundations and organizations, and the commitment of our dedicated dental and non-dental volunteers.
Who We Are
Our clinic is an independent nonprofit organization.
We offer urgent dental care and primary dental services including
exams/x-rays, cleanings, fillings and extractions
for adults in our community who do not have dental insurance
or the financial resources to access the care they desperately need.
Without access to care, treatable dental issues can lead to serious overall health problems. Our goal is to improve the dental health and
quality of life of our patients, reduce the number of missed work days,
and preclude unnecessary ER visits.
Why We Do It
Dental health means more than pretty smiles.
Studies link poor oral health to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, sepsis, cancer, Alzheimers and more.
More than 100,000 people in Pinellas County live near the poverty line and have no dental insurance. We can help them.
