The Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation has donated $150,000 to the Minnesota Dental Foundation to help fund the state's first Mission of Mercy (MOM) event this year, according to the organizations.
MOM events, which have been held in 18 states, provide free dental care to patients who face barriers to care. A large, temporary dental clinic is erected to provide treatment over a two-day period in areas of the state where individuals are not able to easily access oral health care. It provides dental treatment to children and adults in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
