NTEA supports TMOM

The doctors and staff of NTEA along with 120 other dentists from the North Texas area volunteered their time in support of the Texas Mission of Mercy (TMOM) and Give Kids a Smile event held at Fair Park on February 25th and 26th of this year. As a result of the of the charitable donations from local corporations and dental supply companies, as well as the more than 350 volunteers, TMOM was able to provide dental screenings for over 800 needy citizens of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Dental treatment was completed for 672 patients. At the end of the two-day event, TMOM had provided over $250,000 of dentistry at no charge for the patients.

The NTEA doctors and staff provided both clinical and administrative expertise in support of this very worthwhile project. At the end of the day we were all exhausted, but we also shared a great sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
