About KENNETH D. OWEN NCMOM-Charlotte

The North Carolina Missions of Mercy (NCMOM) portable free dental program is an outreach program of the North Carolina Dental Society.
The program’s primary sponsor is the North Carolina Dental Health Fund which is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt organization whose mission is:
- “To provide free dental services to those in financial need with few or no other options.”
- To involve as much of the dental community of the state in the treatment of the under served as is possible.

NCMOM is a grassroots effort, dependent entirely on volunteers, including dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and scores of general volunteers which donate their time and talents tirelessly.
Since the clinics are held in areas provided by the hosting organizations, there are no facility expenses.
The majority of the supplies are obtained at discounted rates from dental supply dealers.
NCMOM is dependent on funding from charitable organizations, civic organizations, private corporate & personal donations as well as grants.
