The heart of a healthy smile.
Making a difference for children in the San Gabriel Valley.
Since 1997, we have been serving economically disadvantaged children with dental care and comprehensive dental education for patients and their families.
How much of a difference can one clinic make?
Did you know, according to the California Dental Association Foundation, “every day in California, millions of people including children, working families and the elderly, live in constant pain as a result of oral disease?”
It is our goal to serve as the low-cost, high-quality community clinic for these members of our community.

We can do more together.
Of the children returning to the clinic for periodic dental exams last year, 75% had no new decay or disease, which proves that our dentists and hygienists are cutting a clear path to reducing the number of cavities, infection and gum disease.
But we can’t do it without the support of donors like you!
Volunteers keep our clinic running.
Volunteers are a major part of our success—we couldn’t do all that we do without you! Whether you are a dentist, dental student, hygienist, or dental assistant—we need you in our clinic and outreach programs. And if you aren’t any of those things, we still need you! We are always seeking new members for our board of directors.
“I would definitely recommend the San Gabriel Valley Foundation for Dental Health. Dr. Duong is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely honest!! He has always provided the best possible care at SGVFDH. Thanks to Dr. Duong, my kids are not afraid of the dentist!”
