School of Dentistry students help provide $1 million in charitable dental care 

July 16, 2018

A total of 233 School of Dentistry students were among 1,400 volunteers that provided charitable dental care valued at more than $1 million to people at the ninth Wisconsin Dental Association and WDA Foundation Mission of Mercy event at the Wisconsin State Fair Park. 

Marquette students, faculty and alumni were among the volunteers who provided care to people ages 1 to 90 during 2,087 patient visits during the two-day event in late June. People who are unable to access care in a traditional dental home sought treatment, with the first patient arriving from Madison and waiting in line overnight for more than 14 hours before the clinic doors opened on June 22. 

More than 15,000 children and adults now have received more than $10.4 million in donated care at WDA Mission of Mercy events since 2009.
