Approximately 150 appointments were filled, giving people much-needed dental care during the six-day event held in May. That was the largest number of people served at one of the clinics this year, and the largest since the pandemic.
This included dental cleanings, fillings and tooth extractions. In addition to the two stations on the Mobile Dental Clinic, the church also set up a hygienist station inside the church to take care of just cleanings.
