School

UCLA School of Dentistry is honored to be recognized as a part of the problem solvers tackling global inequities. Our pediatric clinics serve thousands of children who otherwise may not have any access to care. The clinics work to fight the number 1 chronic yet preventable disease in children, caries or tooth decay.

“Every child deserves to have a dental home and one that will help to prevent problems from happening” – Daniela Silva, Chair and Associate Professor of Pediatric Dentistry

Funds raised will go towards students' emerging needs

The COVID-19 crisis continues to turn our daily lives upside down. We are all experiencing a profound shift both professionally and personally. The UCLA Dentistry family is vast and widespread, but we’re also friendly and familiar and we want you to know that we are here with you and for you during these unprecedented times.

Like you, we have had to adjust the way we operate. We are having to change the ways we serve our patients and how we train our students.
