RI Mission of Mercy

Dental Lifeline Network/Donated Dental Services

Dental Lifeline Network provides comprehensive dental care to adults across the United States. These patients receive this care through the generosity of a network of volunteer dentists and laboratories.


The RI Mission of Mercy, a two-day FREE dental clinic, is held once a year and provides free dental care to the uninsured, underinsured or anyone who cannot access dental care. Services include cleanings, fillings, x-rays, tooth extractions, root canal treatment on front teeth only, and oral health instructions.


Children's Health Coverage Programs in Rhode Island

Medicaid and CHIP provide no-cost or low-cost health coverage for eligible children in Rhode Island. Even if your children have been turned down in the past or you don’t know if they qualify, you may be able to get health coverage for them now.

Your child needs to have Medicaid or CHIP coverage in order to get dental benefits. Once your child has coverage through Medicaid or CHIP, he or she can get dental care.
