ISDS Foundation Relief Program Brings a Smile!
The Relief Program offers financial assistance to dentists experiencing financial hardship or natural disasters. Disabled dentists and their families may be assisted through this program and spouses and dependents of deceased dentists. Read more about Mr. Bruce Reitman's story here and how we helped him regain his smile by clicking here.

Dentists Support Program Needed Now More than Ever

The emotional effects of the COVID-19 crisis are far-reaching, with increased depression, suicides, and alcohol and substance abuse. If you know of a dentist who is struggling with emotional distress, addiction or substance abuse, please help them to reach out to the ISDS Foundation’s Dentists Support Program. Call 312/318-8810 or 708/287-4132. All calls remain confidential.
2022 Scholarships
The ISDS Foundation board of directors announced they would award six scholarships at $6,000 each (2 for each dental school) for 2022. We want to thank the Delta Dental Foundation for its donations to the ISDS Foundation. Because of their generosity, we have been able to award more scholarships. The application deadline each year is May 31.  

Current D3 students enrolled in the third year of an accredited four-year traditional pre-doctorate dental program in Illinois may apply, with scholarship recipients being announced in early July.

Send a note, while helping the Foundation!
Looking for a way to honor someone's accomplishment? Send a memorial to a friend, relative, or colleague?

These "all occasion" cards have many uses, and you can purchase a package of 10 for a $50 contribution to the ISDS Foundation. When you send one of these cards and write your note inside, you honor a person in a very special way and also support the worthy programs of the ISDS Foundation.
