An important public health event is coming to Enid that will provide free dental care to Oklahomans in need — the Oklahoma Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) clinic.
What: Oklahoma Mission of Mercy, a free, two-day, large-scale dental clinic
Who: Open to patients of all ages; no insurance required
When: Friday, February 6 and Saturday, February 7
Where: Stride Bank Center, Enid, Oklahoma(doors on West side open at 5:30 a.m. both days)
Cost: Free
Care Provided: Extractions, fillings, cleanings, and more (services vary based on patient need)
OkMOM is made possible by hundreds of volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants, and community volunteers who generously donate their time to provide critical dental care for individuals and families who may otherwise go without treatment.
Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis, and appointments are not accepted. U.S. Veterans may receive early entry on Friday if they pre-register on site at the Stride Bank Center on Thursday, February 5, between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
The Oklahoma Mission of Mercy, or OkMOM, is a two-day, free dental clinic offering treatment to patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or who would not normally have access to dental care.
Patients are screened to identify their needs and routed to the appropriate clinic area: oral surgery, extractions, restorations, and/or hygiene. For more patient info, visit the Patients page.
Dentists, specialists, hygienists and dental assistants, along with many other volunteers who assist with registration and hospitality, donate their time to provide much-needed care to the community at no charge. To volunteer with OkMOM, visit the Volunteers page. Volunteer registration typically opens October 15 each year and will remain open until all spots are filled.
