There is in Frederick Maryland a Free Mobile Health/ Dental Care Clinic, a traveling Mission of Mercy serving the uninsured and underinsured of Mid Maryland, Pennsylvania and Northern Baltimore Maryland...

And it needs a retired dentist OR a practicing dentist to volunteer.

ONE day a month, you can practice at the location of your choice.
