Missions of Mercy: The Giving Continues
Team dentistry at work during a difficult M.O.M. case
As part of the NCDLA’s ongoing partnership with the NCDS through their Missions of Mercy program, we have listed some information below that should give you a better understanding of how to prepare for and what to expect during a typical M.O.M. event.
Please note that the following list is a suggestion. Although having all of these items would be helpful, it is not a requirement. Any and all donations of time, services, and supplies will be greatly appreciated.
Remember: EVERYONE can help in some fashion.
NCDLA Advisory Director Gary Herring, CDT works alongside Crissy Hairr, Teresa Robertson, CDT and Betty Dix/CDL in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
