**Desert Friends of the Developmentally Disabled (DFDD) has created a dental program that will benefit all developmentally disabled adults in the Coachella Valley.
We are extremely pleased to announce Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love, D.D.S., M.S.D. of the Advanced Periodontics Implant Center in Rancho Mirage has recruited a group of local dentists who have graciously agreed to give of their time to do pro bono work for our special needs citizens.  They will x-ray, evaluate and treat at no cost to the patient.  We have created the administration needed to manage this wonderful opportunity and have a system available. DFDD will raise money in our communities to provide supplies, insurance and anything else that is required.  We are committed to making sure our citizens with special needs get the proper dental care they need. Please call DFDD at 760-832-6555 or email DFDDNOW@me.com for details.  Prior to being seen by the dentist, a medical history form will have to be filled out, and this form can be obtained from Marianne. All appointments will be on Saturdays. There will be no cost to the client.
 
**California Telephone Access Program is a free resource offered by the State of California’s Public Utilities Commission. CTAP provides special phones and telecommunications equipment to people of any age or income level who have cognitive difficulty, or difficulty speaking, holding and dialing the phone, seeing, hearing, or moving. If your support group would be interested in a free presentation on CTAP, please contact me at you convenience.
