The primary focus of the care provided is relieving pain and preventing infection by providing extractions and cleanings, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of oral pathology. At this year’s TMOM event, volunteers treated 605 patients and performed $840,000 worth of services for the community of Abilene, Texas. Since 2001, TMOM volunteers have treated over 42,821 patients, providing $26,348,666 worth of donated care. Dr. Jastremski has been a volunteer for TMOM for over 10 years.
