Mission of Mercy Brightened Smiles

Hundreds of patients headed to the DCU Center in Worcester on Saturday, November 15, 2025, for treatment of their oral health issues. The Massachusetts Dental Society Foundation’s Mission of Mercy and its almost 350 clinical and non-clinical volunteers provided services like extractions, X-rays, fillings, limited root canals, fluoride varnish, and oral health education. Patients left with tips on keeping their smiles healthy, a toothbrush kit and supplies, and a list of clinics where they could receive follow-up care.

Thank you to the MDS members who volunteered! Also, thanks to our corporate sponsors who provided financial support, Delta Dental of Massachusetts, Altus Dental, CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, BeneCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, EDIC, SunLife & DentaQuest, and our corporate partners who provided supplies and services, Henry Schein, Benco Dental, Air Techniques, Acteon, Dexis, United Waste, and Vatech. This event would not have been possible without your support.

This free dental clinic provided treatment to underserved and underinsured adult patients. Patients 18+ years (no pediatric patients), no pre-registration required, and neither insurance nor identification is needed to receive treatment.

Please see the English, Spanish, and Portuguese language flyers for more details on the 2025 clinic.
