Supportful Foundation Advances Charitable Dentistry in U.S. with Dental-ful Program
San Jose, CA, March 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The Supportful Foundation, a U.S. charitable organization which promotes healthy living by facilitating programs and services that improve the well-being of individuals and communities, announced today that the Dental-ful Program is active in the continental United States. With this release, Dental-ful is now able to subsidize costs for dentists who perform charitable restorative dentistry while reducing financial burdens for patients so they can receive proper treatment. This empowers and encourages dentists who want to deliver charity to underserved individuals in their community.

The Dental-ful Program provides dentists and patients with an innovative option to reduce the costs of charitable dental services. Usually, generous dentists, dental assistants, and hygienists are able to perform charitable dental treatments, consisting of extractions, fillings, and cleanings, without help from a dental laboratory. When these dental professionals meet a patient who needs restorative work and is unable to afford the cost of treatment they become very limited in their ability to help this patient because laboratory fabrications are a cost to the dental professionals also. However, a new option for charitable dentists is now available through the Dental-ful Program.

The Dental-ful Program, offered by the Supportful Foundation, is a dynamic dental network which connects underserved and disadvantaged individuals with compassionate dentists, laboratories, suppliers, and organizations.

The Dental-ful Program gives out free and discounted crowns, bridges, or dentures to qualified applicants. The removal of the financial burden of laboratory costs creates a synergistic relationship of care between the dentist and the laboratory for the benefit of the disadvantaged person. The simple application process of Dental-ful results in speedy assessments and determinations. Every application has a field for a dentist’s recommended treatment (prescription) and a field for the patient’s Statement of Request for Charitable Treatment. Upon reception of the application, the Supportful Foundation will evaluate the merits of the request and contact the applicants who are accepted.

“The ability to connect two or more compassionate professionals for the benefit of the patient who is less fortunate is what makes the Dental-ful Program really special,” said David J. Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Supportful Foundation. “If patients come to realize the heart of the sponsoring dentists and suppliers, they will get more than a new smile. They will get inspiration and encouragement to pass along creative forms of charity to others in their daily lives continually.”

By reducing restorative dental costs for charitable treatments, Dental-ful is encouraging compassionate dental professionals to promote healthy living and improve the well-being of others.
