“I appreciate everything very much.  The whole world should do this.

There are no words to express my appreciation.”

                                                                 -2007 COMOM patient, Alamosa, CO

The phrase, “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” came with a dose of reality last October.  In fact, Christmas, in this sense, came early for many who traveled to Alamosa for dental treatment through the Colorado Mission of Mercy (COMOM), Oct. 19-20, 2007.  Volunteer dental professionals generously donated their time, talents and resources to provide prophies, extractions, restorations, root canals and, yes, even acrylic partial dentures to those who wanted “front teeth.”

This event was the CDA’s inaugural COMOM, which was not only met with great success and appreciation, but changed lives for anyone in attendance.  COMOM is a large-scale portable dental clinic that will travel to different regions of Colorado annually providing dentistry at no charge to those individuals without insurance or the means to afford dental care.  The Alamosa program took place in the field house and gymnasium of Adams State College.  

738 total volunteers came together to make COMOM possible.  We appreciate the efforts of these 98 dentists, 48 dental hygienists, 76 dental assistants, 16 lab technicians, three medical doctors, 10 nurses, 33 students and 454 community volunteers.

Working together, these volunteers helped and treated 1,301 patients, providing at least $628,768 in donated dental care.

“Working alongside my colleagues – for free – was the purest form of giving I have ever experienced,” said one COMOM dentist volunteer. “This reaffirmed my belief that this is the most caring profession in the world.”
