Approximately 950 volunteers will help provide $1 million in free dental care to 2,000 children and adults on June 25 and 26 in Sheboygan for the Wisconsin Dental Association (WDA) and WDA Foundation's second annual Mission of Mercy.
The volunteers include 175 dentists, dental hygienists and assistants, Marquette University School of Dentistry students, and community members.
They will provide cleanings, fillings, extractions, and limited treatment partials. Volunteer Spanish and Hmong translators will be available to assist patients.
Individuals of all ages who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise unable to visit a dental office and do not have a medically compromising condition, such as extremely high blood pressure or severe disabilities that prohibits receiving care, will be treated.
