OUR CORE PURPOSE
A C O N V E R S AT I O N WITH CHAIRMAN GEORGE WOLFE
How do you think the DTA Foundation has grown over the course of its history? We’ve definitely seen our impact deepen. In our early years, we could only offer a few scholarships, but in 2018 we awarded 34, and we’ve been able to offer many more grants as well. We facilitate a cycle of giving. Donors give to us, and then we give to scholars and organizations in need, who in turn give back to their communities. In the last year in particular, we’ve been able to accelerate that cycle. What sets the DTA Foundation apart from its peer organizations?
To broaden awareness of oral health’s impact on overall health and increase access to oral health care. 2

“We want donors and companies to identify with our cause and to give back to an industry that’s given a lot to them. Above all, we strive to be good stewards with their dollars.”
Something important to note is that we impact communities at a very local level, but we do it with an eye on scalability. We want the organizations we fund to be able to replicate their work and grow it. We’re especially devoted to finding those organizations that may not be on the radar for larger foundations, and then supporting them so they can get on that radar and attract more funding. Our $25,000 grants have led to over $23 million in additional funding. What do you find most inspiring about the work you do? I serve on the DTA Foundation’s scholarship committee, and I find that every applicant has an amazing story. It’s gratifying to me that we’ve been able to increase the number of awards we can offer to these students. Recently we’ve begun to help them in other ways as well—bringing them to industry events and helping them make connections. These are the future leaders in our industry, so I think it’s incredibly important to support them. How is the DTA Foundation building on the work of the past decade and a half to move forward? We’re getting better as a foundation at telling our story, and at connecting our scholars and grant recipients with the donors in a way that’s personal. When companies pledge a certain amount for scholarships, for example, they have a chance to contact the winner and present the check. We’re getting people really involved and that creates a lot of momentum, not just within the organization but within individual companies as well. What motivates donors to give to the DTA Foundation? At the end of the day, everybody wants to do something meaningful and good. We want donors and companies to identify with our cause and to give back to an industry that’s given a lot to them, but we also have a responsibility to show what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. Above all, we strive to be good stewards with their dollars.

OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
You worked together with four of your classmates to found an eight-week intensive program designed to prepare pre-dental students from all backgrounds for dental school. What’s impactful about this particular type of volunteer work, in your view?
Because I see diversity among healthcare providers as a stepping stone to increasing the number of dentists in remote and underserved communities, I believe pre-dental outreach is just as vital to improving the oral health of those populations as more direct means (such as health fairs). There are so many eager students that come from disadvantaged backgrounds who are motivated to improve public health and who understand the true need in low-provider areas. I believe the first step is to help those individuals not only enter dental school, but also thrive there.
Can you tell us why community service has become a priority for you?
As dental providers, we’re fortunate to have accumulated knowledge about aspects of health that are often not sufficiently taught in our community, so I believe that offering preventative treatment through education is our primary responsibility. Additionally, I’ve benefited from the mentorship of so many others, so I feel honored to return the favor and help guide those who are embarking on the challenging journey of becoming a dentist. I think volunteering benefits me as well—it’s a stress reliever, it gets me out doing something that I enjoy and it reinforces my skills. It’s also gratifying to realize how far I’ve come and to pass my knowledge on to others.
A Conversation with Alex Rauchle “Other students often say to me, ‘How do you find time to do everything you do?’ And I half-jokingly tell them I see my community service as my ‘justified procrastination,’” Alex Rauchle told us. The 2018 DTA Foundation scholarship winner will graduate from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry this year. We spoke with Alex about her introduction to dentistry, her passion for public service and what the DTA Foundation scholarship means to her.

What initially got you excited about dentistry?
When I was 10 years old, I was present during one of my sister’s dental appointments, and I asked the dentist what he was doing to her tooth. He put a bit of composite on my finger and proceeded to solidify it with the curing light. After that, I was hooked. Every time I went to one of my siblings’ dental or orthodontic appointments I was right alongside the doctor, soaking up everything. Most people I know at school have parents who are in dentistry, or at least an aunt or uncle. I have no relatives in the profession, but I think dentistry is an amazing career; I have a suspicion that if more people had exposure to it, there would be a lot more dentists.
2 0 1 8 D E N TA L T R A D E A L L I A N C E F O U N D AT I O N A N N U A L R E P O R T
How do you intend to continue your public service work after you graduate?
After graduation, I plan to pursue my masters in orthodontics at Oregon Health and Science University, an institution that is connected with an amazing hospital. I hope to become well-practiced in treating pa-

tients with cleft lip and palate during my time there. After residency I plan to practice, teach part-time at either a dental school or through a residency program, and mentor pre-dental students. I’d also like to volunteer in underserved communities to treat severe malocclusions, myofunctional problems, craniofacial abnormalities and patients who would otherwise be unable to seek treatment.
How did you feel when you found out you’d received a DTA Foundation scholarship?
I was extremely honored and very excited! Receiving this scholarship makes me feel very proud; the fact that a complete stranger has seen what I’ve done and believes that I’m deserving of support means so much to me. I want to give the donors my most sincere “thank you”—I’m paying for the entirety of my education in loans, so any contribution means that much more weight lifted from my shoulders. For dental students like myself, not only do these scholarships relieve the financial and psychological stress of the immense loans associated with pursuing our dream careers, but they also recognize the hard work we’ve put into becoming the best clinicians we can be. These gifts support individuals across the nation who are committed to a lifetime of volunteering, teaching and spreading the gift of oral health.

The Power to Eat, Speak and Smile
“We’re not only helping seniors in downtown San Diego, but also trying to find a solution that will work for other places in the state and in the nation.”
Two new programs help seniors take control of their oral health
Established in 2016, San Diego’s Gary and Mary West Senior Dental Center (SDC) had already seen significant success by its second year.
Using a creative solution and funding from the DTA Foundation grants program, the clinic was able to launch two innovative oral health initiatives.
20
But the staff also faced a unique problem: A large number of their patients were scheduling unnecessary follow-up appointments. “The majority of our patients live alone, and many told us that the staff had become like family,” says Karen Becerra, CEO and director of the center. “We started to notice patients making appointments simply to ask a question or check in with us—visits that don’t warrant a full trip to the dentist.” Using funding from the DTA Foundation grants program, the clinic launched two innovative oral health initiatives to create a solution. The first, a post-treatment education program to complement the SDC’s existing pre-treatment program, was designed to foster social connections between patients and providers, and to answer requests for more courses. The classes offered cover a wide range of topics, including chronic medical conditions, the mouth-body connection, nutrition, oral cancer detection and tooth sensitivity. Karen stressed the importance of the new program’s focus on preventive care and maintenance. “First and foremost we’re trying to provide dental services, but the reality is that some people have so much fear that they might never actually make an appointment,” she says. “Courses that emphasize preventive care are extremely important—they offer a chance for those seniors to learn and grow. And the information they’re gaining will be passed on to relatives and loved ones.” While some seniors hesitate to seek treatment, others feel so
2 0 1 8 D E N TA L T R A D E A L L I A N C E F O U N D AT I O N A N N U A L R E P O R T
enthusiastic about it that they want to share their experiences with others. The SDC’s second program was designed to further combat the social isolation many patients were experiencing, and involved training four peer ambassadors who held educational “booths” throughout the year, sharing their oral treatment experiences with their peers. Since the implementation of these programs, the SDC staff has seen some exciting results, including a 41% decrease in the number of unnecessary follow-up appointments. Karen says the difference at the center is palpable. “The seniors feel more engaged and valued as important members of society. That social integration is helping to lift their morale and spirits,” she says. And thanks to the new team of passionate peer ambassadors, the overall number of visitors to the SDC clinic has increased. To date, the center has treated 934 patients and offered pre-treatment courses to more than 1,000. “At first we only reached people who were ready and wanted treatment,” says Grants Manager Ayrielle Franco, “but now we’re getting to people who have some fear around treatment and don’t know how it works.” “It helps seniors to talk with someone else who has been through the process,” Karen adds. “If a potential patient has heard that full dentures make it so you can’t taste food, what I have to say about it doesn’t mean much, but if a peer ambassador says to them, ‘I have a full denture and trust me, I can taste my food—I had to relearn how to eat, but it works’—that’s much more convincing. The person starts to think, ‘Well, maybe I’d be willing to try it.’” Ambassador perspectives have shaped the SDC staff ’s approach as well. To design educational materials for visitors to the center, the SDC team collaborated with the four ambassadors, who offered feedback on everything from the language used to the size of the font. “Their input was so valuable,” Karen says. “We’re engaging them as representatives for the community
2 0 1 8 D E N TA L T R A D E A L L I A N C E F O U N D AT I O N A N N U A L R E P O R T
we’re serving, and they’re helping us have a much longer reach than we could achieve alone.” As they look to the future, Ayrielle and Karen aim to see that reach extend even further into the San Diego community. The center has already hosted one off-site event where ambassadors have shared their stories with the public. The staff plans to host more, and to encourage ambassadors to become advocates and organizers in hopes of influencing policy. “I think the ambassadors and everyone on our team feel connected to our mission and our goal of restoring low-income seniors’ ability to eat, speak and smile,” Ayrielle says. “We want seniors to regain the sense of hope and dignity that we all want when it comes to how we care for ourselves and our bodies.” The team also hopes to see other centers around the country adopting similar practices. “We’re not only helping seniors in downtown San Diego, but also trying to find a solution that will work for other places in the state and in the nation,” says Karen. “We want to be trailblazers—we’re looking for solutions that will benefit all of us.”
