Mountain Area Dental Ministry

Truett Baptist Association of Churches sponsors a dental ministry for adults who do not have dental insurance or who may not have access to a dentist that accepts medicade.

In March 2005, the ministry was started with volunteer dentists, assistants, nurses, and clerical personnel. Even though this is a ministry of Truett Baptist Association it has become a community program. Currently Clay and Cherokee county health departments are involved along with local Southern Baptist, Methodist and Catholic congregations.

The fully equipped dental office is being donated by Murphy Medical Center and the Clay County Health Department. So the only funds needed are for dental supplies, equipment, and salary for dental assistants.

Patients will be required to bring proof of income to meet the guidelines.

We are in need of dental personnel with NC license to volunteer to help with this ministry.

Any person or business who would like to be part of this effort may send tax-deductible donations to Truett Baptist Association of Churches, 2235 N.C. 141, Marble, NC 28905.
