"Make a Difference Day" Campaign Helps Hundreds of Additional DDS Patients
At the end of October, Donated Dental Services (DDS) invited its volunteers to join millions of Americans in participating in "Make a Difference Day," a national day of service. We asked them to treat one additional DDS patient over the next 12 months. The initial response was impressive: In less than 24 hours, we received 91 pledges! Despite a technical difficulty, the overall results were terrific:
- 101 people made pledges (Illinois had by far the largest response with 16 dentists making pledges)
- Those people originally planned to see 151 DDS patients; through the campaign they have pledged to see 285 DDS patients. That's an increase of 134 patients!
- The value of care that would have been delivered to 151 patients is estimated at $435,000; the amount of pledged care to be delivered to 285 patients is $855,000. That's an increase of $402,000 in the next 12 months!
As its primary source of revenue, NFDH produces
and sells DentaCheques, the dental-product value book. Without the support of the dental trade
industry, DentaCheques would not be possible. The generous participation of
over 400 sales reps from companies like Henry Schein Dental, Patterson Dental,
Benco and A. Leventhal & Sons work to promote and sell the book. read more
