Welcome to the San Joaquin Dental Society
The San Joaquin Dental Society (SJDS) is a local component of the American Dental Association (ADA) and the California Dental Association (CDA). SJDS is comprised of area dentists dedicated to serving both the public and the profession of dentistry. SJDS represents dentists in San Joaquin, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties, as well as the city of Galt.
The San Joaquin Dental Society Foundation hosts a yearly Give-Kids-a-Smile (GKAS) event that provides pro-bono dental treatment and hygiene services to the underserved and under-insured children in the San Joaquin County area. Treatment is provided regardless of insurance. The 2025 GKAS will be held Saturday, February 8th at St. Mary's Community Services in Stockton.
At the 2024 Give-Kids-a-Smile day, the Foundation and volunteer SJDS members were able to provide $50,000 worth of pro-bono dentistry to kids that were either uninsured or underinsured. Funding for GKAS is mainly raised through the SJDS Foundation Golf Tournament Fundraiser, but you can also donate directly to the Foundation.
