Dental Lifeline Network is the preeminent national non-profit delivering extensive dental care to our country’s most vulnerable older adults, persons with disabilities, and the medically fragile. Through a coordinated system of care, DLN has enabled more than $525 million in donated dental care to more than 170,000 people since 1974. Our nationwide network of volunteer dentists, specialists and labs make this work possible.
