OUR MISSION ~ TO TREAT THE UNTREATED  

MOM-n-PA provides dental care for the relief of pain to thousands of the most needy, many of whom are from working families who do not have access or cannot afford dental insurance.

Many of these patients might otherwise have no hope of receiving care.

Making a Difference


Dr. Lew Lampiris described his experience as a volunteer as "transformational" and went on to say, "Here we were, standing side by side, working together and doing what we've been trained to do, provide necessary dental care to those in greatest need."  

 

How You Can Help

Though all dentists and support personnel are volunteers who donate their time, there are still thousands of dollars of expenses involved in operating these free dental missions. These include dental equipment and maintenance, dental supplies, food, water, and t-shirts for volunteers, as well as food and water for patients waiting in line, and numerous other miscellaneous expenses. Though we have several generous corporate sponsors, we gladly accept (and need) donations of any amount!
