NMDA Dental Directory 2021-22

2021–2022 Dental Directory 21 Please consider volunteering today! NM Mission of Mercy Event Clinics are held 2–4 times a year across the state. Services are free and community members are treated on a first-come-first-served basis. We provide basic dental care, medical care, vision screenings and health education. We serve all ages with no ID requirements nor income restrictions to help families in need. It’s a great way to help your community and work with your colleagues. Donated Dental Services (DDS) Donated Dental Services serves low-income people who are veterans, elderly, disabled, or medically compromised to restore a healthy mouth. We match clients with local dentists who volunteer their time and donate their services. We also work with local labs to obtain donations. This is a good opportunity to help people in your community while in the comfort of your own office. GKAS and Dental Days Free dental treatment days hosted in one day in your office. Care is up to you based on the patients’ needs and what services you are willing to provide, like cleanings and fillings. All clients are prescreened and low-income. This day can be appointment-based or first come, first served. Oral Health Education for Kids Opportunities for providing education to children through schools and community centers. The class is yours to create—it will be fun, informative, and about an hour long!
