The Foundation for Allied Dental Education and The FADE Institute

The Foundation for Allied Dental Education (FADE) was founded in 2011 and is affiliated with the California Dental Assisting Teachers Association. Our central mission and purpose is to provide educational opportunities and professional development courses for entire allied dental healthcare team.

The Foundation’s core values of commitment, collaboration and community are the bedrock of our purpose to provide professional development opportunities, community outreach programs, and public awareness of the important role allied dental health providers play in the provision of oral health. These initiatives coupled with corporate and private donations serve to support our educational scholarship and grant programs on a non-profit, public benefit basis.
