Volunteers Needed at City Team Dental Clinic
The pandemic forced the City Team Dental Clinic to close for over a year. In order to reopen, more volunteers are needed. They need more dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants. The clinic is open on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Volunteers do not need to stay for the whole time. Any time you can offer is gratefully accepted.
The City Team Dental Clinic in North San Jose serves individuals suffering from homelessness and toxic dependency. Using the three available dental chairs, volunteer dentists treat people living in the City Team Ministries recovery facility, all of whom are vaccinated. Volunteer dental professionals provide basic dentistry, prophylaxis, fillings, extractions, partial and full dentures, and some endodontic therapy in the anterior teeth, all at no charge. Future plans include resuming treatment for the homeless.
To volunteer, please call the SCCDS at 408-289-1480 and let our staff know you’d like to volunteer for the City Team Dental Clinic.
