Louisiana Mission of Mercy Event at the Cajundome

This Friday and Saturday, August 11 and 12 at the Cajundome and Convention Center, the Louisiana Mission of Mercy will be holding its free dental event.

LaMoM's aims to "provide quality dental care for those in need."

Providing quality dental care for those is exactly what they'll be doing this Friday and Saturday in Lafayette.

The event is made possible through the Louisiana Dental Association, volunteers, and donations.

From ladental.org -

"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."

Patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis, no appointments are needed or taken.

The Cajundome and Cajundome Convention Center will open at 6 am with patients being seen beginning at 7 am.

LaMOM will stop accepting new patients once they have reached capacity for the day.
