LaMOM 2023 in Lafayette was a success! We treated 910 patients over two days and performed over $1 million in free dental care. LaMOM is a volunteer-run clinic; we are so grateful for the generous support for this clinic. When another date and location are selected, they will be posted on the Louisiana Mission of Mercy Facebook page, LDA social media, and www.lamissionofmercy.org.
Interested in volunteering for LaMOM? We need volunteers of all kinds, including dentists, greeters, dental school students, food service workers, and more!
Our registration software includes official shift time blocks. If you are not able to complete the entire shift, register for what you would like to do and in the notes section, include what time you will be able to work. When you arrive at volunteer registration that day to check in, we will assign you to a particular volunteer position based on the openings and greatest need.

About LaMOM
A location is transformed into a large-scale dental clinic with the purpose of treating adults and children who have limited financial resources or are otherwise unable to visit a dental office. Over multiple days, volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants, students and community workers from across the state of Louisiana provide services including exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, anterior root canals, extractions and front teeth transitional partials. "LaMOM" is an incredible dental outreach event that takes patients on a first-come, first-served basis until we reached our capacity for the day. Our goal is to serve anyone willing to attend and participate.
