To ensure SLDDS addresses preventive services as well as emergency treatment, SLDDS has established a protocol for all patient visits, depending on the availability of volunteer dentists and hygienists:

Davis Donated Dental Services (DDDS), a program of Salt Lake Donated Dental Services, is a dental program offered to residents of Davis County in partnership with Davis Technical College, Weber State University and local dentists and hygienists who volunteer their time. Eligibility for DDDS is based on income and residency in Davis County. To qualify for DDDS dental care individuals must:

• Be a resident of Davis County, Utah. One proof of residency is required.
  • Current drivers license
  • Current rent or lease agreement
  • Current mail from a federal or state agency
• Have a gross household income at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Level.

To apply for DDDS services, referring agencies or applicants need to send an email or text including contact information, proof of residency and proof of income to patients@donateddental.org.  Upon receipt of this information, the DDDS Patient Care Coordinator will contact each applicant regarding the status of their application, advise them of the next step towards getting a first appointment and give the patient the contact phone number for DDDS (385.246.9215).

Initial Appointment

• Upon arrival for the initial appointment the following documents need to be completed and signed:
  • Davis Donated Dental Services Patient Information Sheet including:
    • Personal/Contact Information
    • Medical /Dental History
    • Informed Consent
  • Self-Certification of Annual Income by Beneficiary
• At the initial appointment x-rays will be taken, and a dentist will give an examination and develop a treatment plan for the patient. If possible, the patient’s teeth will also be cleaned.
• At the end of the initial appointment, if follow-up treatment is needed that appointment will be made if possible. If a follow-up appointment cannot be made, the DDDS Patient Care Coordinator will contact the patient when an appointment is available.

Follow-up Appointments

• It is very important that the DDDS Patient Care Coordinator can contact DDDS patients to make arrangements for follow-up appointments.
• Patients need to be sure to answer text messages, phone calls or emails so appointments can be made in a timely manner.
• Follow-up treatment may be at the dental office at Davis Technical College and/or at a local dentist/dental specialist office to whom the patient is being referred. The DDDS Patient Care Coordinator facilitates all referrals (endodontist, oral surgeon, etc.).

General Information

• It is very important that patients show up for each DDDS appointment. Patients need to notify the DDDS Patient Care Coordinator if they are unable to make their scheduled appointment as soon as possible but no later than 2 business days prior to their appointment unless there is an emergency.  Failure to do this will result in no longer being treated at the DDDS office.
• DDDS does not provide emergency dental services. If emergency services are needed by a patient, DDDS will try to arrange for care but cannot guarantee that it will be possible.
• DDDS does not provide dentures, implants and orthodontic services.
• All dentists and hygienists at DDDS are volunteers and should be treated with the utmost respect.
• There is no charge for DDDS dental care.
• Patients will be scheduled in the order that required documentation is received.
• Patients will be asked to update their documentation on an annual basis or when changes are made to required documentation.
• Specific procedure-related patient consent forms will need to be signed as treatment takes place.
• Once treatment is complete, patients will be given a resource guide to community dental services. Return to DDDS for care would require eligibility re-verification.
• If treatment is outside of the scope of DDDS available services, a referral will be made to an alternate source of dental care.
• DDDS is a part-time dental clinic and does not take walk-in patients.
