Delta Dental of New Mexico Partners with New Mexico Mission of Mercy

Delta Dental of New Mexico (DDNM) has announced its collaboration with the New Mexico Dental Association Foundation for the upcoming 2026 New Mexico Mission of Mercy (NM MOM), aiming to significantly enhance access to dental care for residents.

Event Overview

This special event is scheduled for November 6 and 7, 2026, and will take place at Tingley Coliseum in EXPO New Mexico, located in Albuquerque. The clinic will offer a variety of dental services at no cost to individuals who often face difficulties in accessing or affording essential dental treatments.

Doors will open at 5:15 AM each day, and services will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. No prior appointments are necessary, which facilitates immediate assistance for those in need. The event caters to both adults and children, ensuring that families can take advantage of the critical care provided.

Services Offered

The dedicated volunteers at the clinic, which includes skilled dental professionals, will offer essential services such as cleanings, fillings, and extractions. Depending on the volunteer capacity, patients may receive additional treatments as well. In addition to dental procedures, participants will benefit from oral health education and medical screenings before treatment.

Lou Volk, the President and CEO of Delta Dental of New Mexico, emphasized the initiative's importance, stating, "Mission of Mercy reflects the power of New Mexicans coming together to improve the health of our communities. Through partnerships like this, we can help expand access to essential dental care while supporting the dedicated volunteers and dental professionals who make this work possible."
