Distinctive Dentistry Believes in Giving Back to the Community

Dr. Martin has been involved with many dental charities. She donates care locally with the in-office Tooth Fairy Program for patients of need, and she donates time at Care Free Dental Clinic. The practice and/or Dr. Martin herself participate in many other local charities and community endeavors, such as our local schools, libraries, food pantries, Bras For The Cause and Paws For The Cause, and many other charities (including those highlighted below) We encourage you to get involved as well.  

HANDICAPPED Waterski Program

Dr. Martin proudly supports and has been an active participant in the Handicapped Waterski Program, which allows people with disabilities to waterski in a specially designed ski. The joy on the face of a wheelchair-bound person as they first experience gliding across the water is an amazing thing to see.

Dental Lifeline network

One of the programs in the Dental Lifeline Network provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to our country’s most vulnerable people (ones with disabilities or who are elderly or medically fragile). These are people who cannot afford necessary treatment and cannot get public aid. The program operates through a volunteer network of more than 15,000 dentists and 3,700 dental labs across the United States. Since its inception in 1985, our DDS program has surpassed $300 million in donated dental therapies, transforming the lives of 108,000 people. Learn More Here.
