The North Carolina Missions of Mercy (NCMOM) portable clinics are a program of the North Carolina Dental Society Foundation that provides free dental care to adults in underserved communities. The clinics are staffed by volunteer dentists, hygienists, and other dental professionals who donate their time and expertise.

The clinics offer a variety of dental services, including:

• Cleanings
• Fillings
• Extractions
• Dentures
• Partials
• Bridges
• Root canals
• Crowns

The clinics are typically held in one location for two days, and they are open to all adults who qualify. To qualify, you must meet certain income and residency requirements. You can find more information about eligibility on the NCMOM website.

The NCMOM portable clinics are a valuable resource for adults who need dental care but cannot afford it. The clinics provide high-quality care at no cost, and they help to improve the oral health of people in need.
