OK boys and girls,
Just got the notice this week so I figured I'd pass this on to everyone.
This year's OKMOM (Oklahoma Mission of Mercy) will be taking place in Woodward, Oklahoma on Feb 3 and 4, 2017

Each year for the past 7 years (this will be #8), the Dental community of Oklahoma put on a 2 day event where we offer free (yes, FREE) dental care to anyone who shows up.
This is in No cost at all. There are no qualifications. We try to see everyone who shows up.
I have done three of them so far. I wasn't able to do last year in OKC due to a shoulder injury, but I will be at the Woodward event. Most likely in the Oral Surgery bays.
Usually, we treat upwards of 1500 to 1800 patients during the two day event. This is an amazing event. Dentist, Dental Hygienists, Assistants, Receptionists, basically anyone who wants to volunteer will be giving their time during this two day event.
Things I want to stress:
This is FREE to people who show up. Free. No Dinero. No Money needed.
There are no income qualifications or requirements.
Most areas of dentistry will be provided (except Orthodontics). Everything from basic cleanings to complex Extractions (Oral Surgery). Fillings, limited root canals, cleanings, xrays, extractions, limited partial dentures.
And did I mention that it is free?
And something to know about the people involved, they are ALL volunteers.
So, pass this on to anyone that you know that might be in need.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
As the time gets closer, I'll post again to try to remind folks.
And if you are interested in volunteering, I'm sure that there is information on the website. You don't have to be a dentist or dental staffer. We can use all the help we can get. Setup, breakdown, administration, translators, etc.
