NC Dental Society Foundation’s Missions of Mercy (MOM) Clinics
The Foundation facilitates portable free dental clinics conducted over a two-day period for adults from underserved households. Clinics are staffed by volunteer dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, laboratory technicians, health professionals, and general community volunteers from the host city and across the state. The doors will open on Friday and Saturday mornings at 6:00 a.m. Patients will be seen on a first come first serve basis. Treatment will include cleanings, fillings, and extractions only. Patients should not contact the clinic locations as they only provide the facility.
