 Oklahoma Dental “Mission of Mercy” Launched Oklahoma City – The Oklahoma Dental Association and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Charitable Foundation are proud to be co-sponsoring the first annual Oklahoma Dental Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) scheduled for February 5-6, 2010, at the Tulsa Convention Center. What is OkMOM? Two days of absolutely FREE dental care to all who come! OkMOM will be a 90-chair, fully-functional dental facility. There will be no eligibility or income requirements. OkMOM will serve both children and adults and it will be on a first-come, first-served basis; appointments will not be accepted. An anticipated 1,000 patients will be treated each of the two days. Oklahoma is the 14th state to launch a dental mission of mercy. Two subsequent OkMOMs have already been planned: 2011 in Oklahoma City and 2012 in McAlester. The Oklahoma Dental Association and the Delta Dental of Oklahoma Charitable Foundation are currently accepting proposals from Oklahoma-based companies with which to partner on the OkMOM project through charitable donations of goods and/or services. For more information, please email okmom@okda.org. Founded in 1907, the Oklahoma Dental Association has a proud membership of over 1,500 dentist members and is headquartered in Oklahoma City.
