Clinic door opens at 5:30 a.m. both days; approximately 450 patients treated daily on first-come, first-served basis until about 5 p.m.

Interview and story opportunities:
- “Walk the line” and interview MOM patients waiting (some overnight) for the clinic to open.
- See MOM in action by touring the 45-chair dental clinic floor as hundreds of volunteers treat Wisconsin adults and children in need; interview patients, dentists and other volunteers about this large-scale charitable effort to reduce barriers to oral health care.
- Talk with dental professionals about why charity events like MOM aren’t the final solution to our state’s dental crisis and how dentists, patients and lawmakers working together can improve the oral health - and overall health - of Badger State residents.
