Over the past 12 years, DFTH sponsors have put
smiles on the faces of more than 80,000 men and
women who would otherwise have continued
to suffer with dental issues. So far in 2013, more
than 250 events have been sponsored in 49 states,
Canada, Australia, Ireland and Puerto Rico. Here at
the Scheduling Institute, we are SO PROUD of
the fact that nearly HALF of this year’s events
have been hosted by Scheduling Institute
doctors! If you are among them, take a bow!
You truly embody the spirit of giving back!
Without exception, these folks positively
gush about what a life-changing
experience it is to run one of these events –
not just for themselves, but for the staff and
volunteers, and family members who often
get involved. It brings them closer together
as a team, and makes them feel utterly
elated about the good work they’re doing.

THE HABIT OF GIVING ONLY
ENHANCES THE DESIRE TO GIVE.
– WALT WHITMAN
The Practice
organization on the planet through which to do
this! Founded on a dream in 2001 by Dr. Vincent
Monticciolo in Tampa FL, DFTH has become a
worldwide not-for-profit organization dedicated to
providing free dental care to those in need. Every
year, thousands of individual Dentists, Hygienists,
volunteers and hundreds of Practices across the
world reach out and demonstrate the giving
spirit of the dental care profession by donating
their time and resources to host their own DFTH
events. New Practices – including specialists
such as Periodontists, Pediatric Dentists and Oral
Surgeons – continuously join the effort.
STEP UP!

DENTISTRY FROM THE HEART is the best
Just check out all the heartwarming photos on
these pages – a mere fraction of those that are sent
to us each year. People tell us it “feeds the soul.” Talk
about your lasting after-glow of satisfaction!

Being involved with charitable organizations and
attending fundraising events is better because
it creates a real connection to the people in your
community. And while your basic motivation should,
of course, be to help others in need, not to generate
business, the reality is, giving back is great for
business! People get to know you as a person… and
given a choice, a New Patient will choose a caring
and compassionate doctor every time!
