CDHA supports our local children in need. Our Children's
Dental Health Center, School-based and outreach programs target
economically disadvantaged, underserved children. In the areas where most of our patients live, a weighted average of 50% of the families have incomes below $25,000. We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality, low-cost remedy to patients who would traditionally have little or no access to dental care.

Our Mission
Children's Dental Health Association (CDHA) was founded in 1952 to address the community's growing need among working poor families for access to quality dentistry. The organization is rich in history and proud of its decades of achievement in San Diego County. The organization's mission describes its efforts: "To improve the health and well-being of underserved children by providing quality, affordable and accessible dental services and education."
