Im not a dental health professional – is there a way that I can help at OrMOM?
Yes! We need many different types of volunteers – dentists, assistant, hygienists, pharmacists, doctors, students, people from the community, etc. We could use all of your help! At the 2010 OrMOM, 1244 volunteers helped 1544 patients in two days. There will be 100+ dental chairs in use, so we’ll need to have them filled, at all times, with dental care professionals. That leaves around 500 available positions for ‘day of’ behind the scenes help (registration, routing, food service, etc), help with actual patient care, and help with translation and patient escorts. Patients will never be left alone, so we need a lot of people from the community to help us escort the patient between departments as they are preparing for treatment.
