Providence, R.I. (WPRI) — Several people were lining up on Prairie Avenue in Providence to get free dental care. The Rhode Island Mission of Mercy event started early Saturday morning at the Providence Community Health Centers. This is the 10th year the Mission of Mercy event, held by the Rhode Island Oral Health Foundation with support from Delta Dental of Rhode Island, took place in Providence. The clinic hopes to help vulnerable people without access to dental care, and will include routine cleanings, X-rays, fillings, root canal treatments on front teeth only and tooth extractions. Also, since the first time since 2019, the clinic will also offer partial dental service. The event will take place again on Sunday, with doors opening at 5:45 a.m. Close Thanks for signing up!
