Providence Dental Clinic and Mobile Dental Clinic

Bringing Smiles to our Kids in Sonoma County

Providence Dental Clinics and Programs were founded in 1990 by Sister Martha Ann Fitzpatrick, the Ministry of the Sisters of Providence of Orange and the local community in response to a county assessment by our Compassion in Action Committee who saw the urgent need for dental access for our community’s most vulnerable children. Dental decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease that is completely preventable.
