Under the PDC banner, clinics and referral programs are organized by local dentists who volunteer their time and services to offer preventive and restorative dental care to Floridians in greatest need.

Clients must be equal to or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level, and can not have Medicaid or dental insurance. Contact your local clinic to see if you qualify and if there is space available.
