Dental Clinic

In December of 2011, we received a donation to our dental clinic from a former patient that we had seen about two years ago.  She was unemployed, didn’t have dental insurance, and was in major pain.  Her inability to pay for treatment at a private dental office led her to the Aloha Medical Mission Dental Clinic, where she was treated right away without charge.  Now employed and covered with dental insurance, she felt the need to give back so that others in a similar situation as hers could be helped.
