Today is here to Give Back – Join Us in Supporting the Harbor Dental Society Foundation via Long Beach Gives 🌟

Dear Harbor Members,

As dentists, we know the power of a healthy smile. But beyond our operatories, the Harbor Dental Society Foundation makes sure that same power reaches deeper into our community—through outreach programs, scholarships, and initiatives that extend oral health care to those who need it most.

This year, we’re asking every member to join us in a simple but meaningful challenge:
👉 Be part of 100% Harbor member participation in giving back.

It doesn’t take much—just $25 is enough to stand up and say “I care about my community, my profession, and my Society.”

To put it in perspective, that’s less than:

A couple of lattes ☕One box of prophy paste (and you don’t even have to open it) 😂Or the gas it takes to get to the office and back on a busy Monday

When we come together, the impact is enormous. With full participation, we send a powerful message to the wider community: Harbor dentists lead with generosity and heart.

Please consider making your donation today: https://www.longbeachgives.org/organization/HDS-Foundation-lbg

Thank you for all you do every day—not just for your patients, but for Harbor, and for our greater community.

With gratitude and Harbor pride,
Dr. Amir Kazim, DDS
President, Harbor Dental Society
Dr. Aarti Shah, DDS
Chair, HDS Foundation

Harbor Dental Society Foundation and Harbor Dental Society are proud and thankful to the Children's Dental Health Clinic to have hosted Long Beach CDA Cares at its Clinic and to the CDA Foundation for putting on the Long Beach CDA Cares in our community. This is truly a community-driven effort that helps patients get oral healthcare treatment and find a dental home for after care. Grateful to all the dental team members, volunteers and dental home providers who made a difference serving the Greater Long Beach area.

Delivering smiles, onward and upward 🚀❣🦷
