Eastern Shore Mission of Mercy

Mission of Mercy is a free adult dental clinic provided by volunteer dental professionals and a volunteer staff of several hundred people.
All dental services will be provided by licensed dentists and hygienists who are donating their services for this event.

The Eastern Shore Mission of Mercy was first held in 2013.  The second event took place in 2015.  Over those two events, almost $2 million in services have been provided with the help over 3000 volunteers giving over 23,500 hours of their time!!

Try to visualize the typical Mission of Mercy (MOM) patient. Usually the first thing that comes to mind is a homeless person or family, someone on government assistance, unable to get needed dental care for obvious reasons. However, that first mental picture can’t be any further from the truth. The people out there in need include the average person mingling and socializing among us. They are friends, coworkers, people we interact with on a daily basis. They could be your grandparent, mother, father, sibling, or any other relative. With the tough economic times we are in, it could be anyone. It could be you.

More than 100 million people in the United States are without dental insurance. On the Eastern Shore there are thousands of adults that don’t receive adequate or even basic needed dental care, resulting in a silent epidemic of dental and oral disease.
