Welcome
Our next mission has been scheduled!
It will be held on Friday June 6th & Saturday June 7th, 2025 at the
Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
REGISTRATION FOR VOLUNTEERS WILL OPEN SPRING, 2025!
Thank you to the 763 Volunteers who helped provide dental care at our 2024 Reading MOM-n-PA
Thank you to everyone that volunteered and donated to our successful 2024 mission in Reading, PA
We are so proud to report that our volunteers served 1,572 people, provided 10,051 procedures and donated over 1.25 million dollars of free dental care. Services included cleanings, x-rays, fillings, pediatric care, root canals, dentures, extractions and medical & dental screenings.
WHAT IS MOM-n-PA?
MOM-n-PA is an annual two-day free dental clinic for underserved Pennsylvanians in which dental treatment is provided at NO COST to individuals who cannot afford dental care.
Treatment is provided on a first-come, first-served basis. It is expected that hundreds of individuals will be attending this year's event, so please come early! Patients do not pre-register.
All services are provided free of charge by a host of dedicated volunteers.
We believe the heart of dental care is service to others. We believe in our commitment to the communities around Pennsylvania to treat the underserved without pride or prejudice. Each year our mission is to serve as many individuals as we can and get them back on track to good oral health. We are very excited THAT THIS PAST YEAR, we set a significant achievement in treating our 10,000th patient since our mission started in 2013. We wouldn't have been able to reach this incredible milestone without our sponsors, dedicated volunteers, and everyone else who has helped throughout the years.
Q: What else should I know?
Come early! Patients will be lining up starting Thursday evening.
No appointments will be taken or are necessary.
Patients are seen on a first come - first serve basis.
The number of patients seen will be limited to up to 1000 patients per day. Once the total number of patients we can see each day have been registered, no additional patients can be seen. Please be prepared to wait several hours for service.

OUR MISSION ~ TO TREAT THE UNDERSERVED
MOM-n-PA provides dental care for the relief of pain to thousands of the most needy, many of whom are from working families who do not have access or cannot afford dental insurance.
Many of these patients might otherwise have no hope of receiving care.

Making a Difference
Dr. Lew Lampiris described his experience as a volunteer as "transformational" and went on to say, "Here we were, standing side by side, working together and doing what we've been trained to do, provide necessary dental care to those in greatest need."
How You Can Help
Though all dentists and support personnel are volunteers who donate their time, there are still thousands of dollars of expenses involved in operating these free dental missions. These include dental equipment and maintenance, dental supplies, food, water, and t-shirts for volunteers, as well as food and water for patients waiting in line, and numerous other miscellaneous expenses. Though we have several generous corporate sponsors, we gladly accept (and need) donations of any amount!
How to Make a Donation
You can easily and conveniently make an online donation by clicking on our "Donate" link. MOM-n-PA is a 501(c)3 corporation, but please consult with your tax advisor if you have questions about your donation. You can also mail your donation directly to our foundation!
