Make A Dent Information

Before Make A Dent, Inc. became an official 501(c)(3), Dr. Sunny and Carmen supported University of Southern California Dental Humanitarian Outreach Program (USC DHOP) for four years offering countless resources, financial assistance and educational opportunities. As advisors of this humanitarian group, they had a personal insight of the troubles DHOP would encounter when seeking guidance or sponsorship for their humanitarian trips. With their hearts set on providing free quality dental services to those in need they sought out a way to facilitate the process for DHOP and other similar groups. As their involvement with DHOP began to grow, so did the idea of MAD. As Dr. Sunny and Carmen continued to attend these humanitarian trips they were continuously faced with the harsh reality that the need for access to quality dental treatment and education had no end in sight. And so they aligned their passion with their purpose and began to work towards the development and realization of Make A Dent, Inc. Each year, MAD will orchestrate and execute a dental humanitarian trip of our own to a community in need. However, it is MAD's larger mission to create a network of organizations to work together and fight oral disease. With a particular emphasis in the involvement of aspiring dental health professionals, we hope to generate a ripple effect of passionate people wanting to provide quality care to the underserved.
