They do a lot with a little. They are the dental students of the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry—and their small, lean clinic, which treats homeless clients, has been awarded the 2012 ADA Foundation Bud Tarrson Award. The Community Dental Clinic at UCSF operates on an annual budget of about $3,000 and on material donations from corporations, said Dr. Steven Silverstein, who is the clinic’s faculty adviser. About 100 students do the heavy lifting, treating patients under the auspices of volunteer faculty, including providing oral exams, oral hygiene instruction, simple and deep cleaning, basic restorative procedures and monthly endodontic treatments.
