Behind every number
is a real child.

One in four children in San Diego County arrives at kindergarten with untreated cavities. Tooth pain means missed school days, difficulty eating, and a confidence that takes years to rebuild. Many of the children we serve have never seen a dentist before their first visit with us.

CDHA has operated continuously since 1952. In that time, we have served tens of thousands of children across the county through prevention, education, and direct clinical care. None of it happens without the generosity of our donors and partners.

We are a lean organization. Your gift goes to patient care, not overhead. We are proud of our track record of transparency and stewardship, and we welcome any questions about how we use the resources entrusted to us.

"If it were not for the vision of our founders and the loyalty of our supporters, the Children's Dental Health Association would not exist. We are here because San Diego showed up for its kids. It still does."
