Posted by Haley Goodman | January 16, 2008

Irvine, CA (January 16, 2008) – Pacific Dental Services (PDS) had over 100 employees, affiliated dentists and family members embarked on a 3-day “We Serve” outreach trip to Ensenada, Mexico. “We Serve” is an integral part of the PDS mission and a foundation to PDS’s corporate responsibility, encouraging willing employees and dentists to give back to less fortunate communities. Throughout the 3-day trip, they provided dentistry for adults and children, completed various construction projects and connected with the Ensenada community.

PDS partnered with Azusa Pacific University (APU ©) to restore the foundation of a church washed out by recent storms, construct a new roof on a home, clean up areas overcome with debris, and repaint structures around the city. In addition to the community work, PDS employees were able to re-roof a house, frame and install siding on a sanctuary, and clear a critical fire line around Rancho El Refugio, APU’s Ensenada property. APU’s Rancho El Refugio plays a significant role in serving their local community in Mexico. Mexican Medical Ministries© provided insight to PDS in planning the exams, cleanings, fillings, and extractions to about 130 adults and children. With supplies donated by Proctor & Gamble©, Henry Schein®, Schick Technologies©, and Sybron Dental Specialties© each patient received the highest quality care during their treatment and were given instruction on basic dental hygiene, along with a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. Together, PDS and these organizations made the dreams of many become a reality.
