Over the past three years, 355 volunteer technicians from the N.C. Dental Laboratory Association (NCDLA) have created or repaired 1019 dental appliances (partial or full dentures) for needy patients as part of the N.C. Missions of Mercy (NCMOM) adult dental program.
NCMOM, funded by the N.C. Dental Health Endowment and managed by the N.C. Dental Society, has provided $12.7 million in free dental care more than 26,000 North Carolinians since 2009.
