About Us

We believe in making oral health care more accessible so that all people can improve their overall health and quality of life.

Our Story

The Pacific Dental Services Foundation was born out of a deep commitment to serving others. After years of leading international service trips and engaging in nonprofit partnerships, Pacific Dental Services founded PDSF in 2012 as an extension of its service. Today, PDSF is a year-round service effort focused on expanding access to oral health care and helping servant-hearted health care leaders launch their careers.

Our three main programs help ensure more people can get quality oral health care that improves overall health and quality of life.
