What We Do
Guided by a belief that all families should have access to quality oral healthcare, the CDS Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the Chicago Dental Society.
CDS members donate funds and time to the Foundation, and those resources are used to improve the public’s access to dental care programs and oral health education. Specifically, we:
Provide dental health care to low income residents at the CDS Foundation Clinic
Provide grants to local non-profit organizations that provide access to care, and to the leading dentistry schools at universities in Illinois
Provide opportunities for industries to support oral health
Accept donations that honor or memorialize a loved one. These types of gifts are enduring tributes that help further the mission of providing access to care

Our volunteer dentists, hygienists and assistants alleviate pain and restore oral health through exams, prophylaxis, intraoral and panoramic X-rays, basic restorations and carefully evaluated extractions.
Volunteers stay busy while working at the clinic because our staff pre-screens patients and schedules appointments in advance.
Our chairside assistant enables volunteer dentists to walk in, practice dentistry and feel good about the care they have delivered.
In some cases, volunteer oral surgeons and other specialists are called upon to provide more extensive treatment.
Volunteer
The CDS Foundation Dental Clinic seeks volunteer dentists, hygienists and assistants to care for patients, as well as oral surgeons to accept referrals. The clinic also needs in-kind donations of supplies and consumables.
To volunteer, call the clinic at 630.260.8530 or email the CDS Foundation Clinic.
