Kansas Mission Of Mercy<\/a> Dental Clinic is back in Manhattan at the Kansas National Guard Armory.<\/p>\n\u201cWe get to help people that otherwise would not be able to get their dental needs taken care of,\u201d Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation Executive Director Niki Sadler said. \u201cSo, this means getting people out of pain or getting them help that would turn into dental pain and dental problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anybody can receive cleanings, fillings and extractions at no cost.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just makes me happy to see people be out of pain and be able to smile again and feel good themselves,\u201d Dr. Jill Ellner, chairperson for this year\u2019s local planning committee said. <\/p>\n
Organizers thanked the 700+ volunteers who registered to help throughout the weekend, saying it wouldn\u2019t be possible without them.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody, they\u2019re all licensed dentists,\u201d Sadler said. \u201cSame with the hygienists, they\u2019re licensed hygienists. So, it\u2019s great, they\u2019re all here to volunteer their time and help people.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very awesome to see everybody working together and after doing this for so many years it\u2019s almost like a family reunion because so many of us volunteers have done this for so long,\u201d Dr. Ellner said. <\/p>\n
Dr. Ellner and Sadler ask for patience as they expect hundreds of people to attend the clinic each day.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake sure you bring a list of all the medications,\u201d Dr. Ellner said. \u201cIf you have any kind of dietary restrictions, make sure you bring food for yourself if you\u2019re not able to eat what we provide. And be willing to wait in line.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to help you if you\u2019re a patient,\u201d Sadler said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to feed you breakfast, we\u2019re going to feed you lunch, and we\u2019re going to get you in the door. We want to be able to take care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The clinic runs Friday Jan. 30 & Saturday Jan. 31 at the Army National Guard Armory, 721 Levee Dr. in Manhattan. Doors open at 5:30 a.m. each day.<\/p>\n
