What is a Mini MOM?​

In response to the overwhelming lack of access for oral health care, Mission of Mercy projects are pop-up events organized to provide high-quality care to underserved Virginians.  This event will be limited to extraction services only.

​

What should patients expect at the event?​

Upon arrival, patients will arrive and follow the signs to registration tables.  After completing registration, patients will receive a health screening, where medical professionals will check some basic information like blood pressure or blood sugar levels.

Then, patients will move to an X-ray and dental triage station before moving to the dental treatment area.  Our on-site dental professionals will talk with each patient and provide free care based on their individual needs.

Finally, patients will receive aftercare instructions and medications (if needed) before heading home.

​

Where will the event take place?​

The event will be held at Big Walker Dentistry at 435 W. North Street in Wytheville, VA.  

​

What services will you provide?​

We will provide health screenings and extractions to adult patients (18 and over).  

​

Should I make an appointment?​

This is a first-come, first-served event.  We will provide as many free visits as possible, but space will be limited.  Please plan to arrive early and be prepared to wait. 
If you have questions, please call the office at 276-228-4711.

​

Who can participate?​

The Mini-MOM project is free for adult residents of Southwest Virginia. 

​

What should I bring?​

Please bring a list of your current medications to aide in the registration process, a book or fully-charged phone and headphones will you wait, and a snack in case you need it!
