The dental mission at the Christ The King Parish at Las Piñas City was an annual event that is done by the Foundation. Sadly, like many other events, the mission was stopped in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.
This year however, the mission was revived and was completed November 20, 2023.
The D4EVF joined forces with the PDA Las Piñas Chapter, the Group A Dental Associates and the Parish personnel and completed a day long mission.
The event was held at the large Parish Hall of the Christ The King Church at Barangay San Isidro, Las Piñas City.
Twenty-five licensed dentists volunteered led by the LPDC President, Sarah Joy Acosta Bello. The event was supervised by the old guards of the Foundation, the Group A Dental Associates with Dr. Amry Jane Chavez-Noza at the helm. They were assisted by members of the Parish who acted as auxiliary assistants.
Hundreds of patients from the area of responsibility of the Church came to avail the free dental services that were offered, including oral examinations, extraction of hopeless teeth, oral prophylaxis , fluoride application and patient education.
Equipment , dental supplies and sundries were provided by the Foundation. Toothbrush sets were distributed to everyone that came to the mission.
After the event, all volunteers were given a small token from the Foundation as an appreciation for their volunteer efforts.

- Dr. Amry Jane Chavez-Noza – Group A Leader
