Nebraska Mission of Mercy

Did you know poor oral health contributes to numerous physical and social problems in our society? Heart attacks and strokes often result from periodontal disease and oral infections.  Delays in intellectual development and low work productivity can be a result of bad teeth. In fact, in 2014, 164 million hours of work were lost due to toothaches and dental related problems.

Our communities are facing limited access to dental healthcare now more than ever.  The Mission of Mercy is a national organization committed to improving access to dental care though out our country.

The purpose of this mission is to provide a two-day free dental clinic for anyone in need of care. People we see are those who do not have access to dental care and  have little or no insurance.  This mission helps keep these folks out of emergencies rooms for dental problems.  Local shelters and health clinics throughout Nebraska are joining together to support our efforts. Over 800 dentists, surgeons, assistants, hygienists, nurses and volunteers donating their time and talent to this important cause. Our goal is to provide 1 Million Dollars in free care and  we need your help to make our efforts go further.

Your support is crucial to keeping our mission free.  We would love to have Methodist Hospital be one of our financial sponsors. Your donation will go toward offsetting the costs of dental supplies and equipment and help us to provide care at no cost. 

Since 2005, The Nebraska Mission of Mercy has helped over 13,000 people and provided over $5 million in free dental care. Thank you in advance for your contribution and helping us to provide dental care to those who need it most!
