Underinsured Invited to Free Dental Clinic June 7-8

Stratford State Rep. Terry Backer (D-121) reminds Stratford residents of an upcoming free dental clinic being offered in Bridgeport in June.

The Connecticut Mission of Mercy (CTMOM) is holding the sixth annual two-day dental clinic on June 7-8 at the Webster Bank Arena beginning at 6 a.m.

CTMOM is a full-service multi-chair clinic providing free dental care to people of all ages that are underinsured. The first-come, first serve clinic has 125 chairs, staffed by 1500 volunteers and anticipates serving more than 2000 patients.

Services provided include:

  • Cleanings
  • Fillings
  • X-rays
  • Oral exams
  • Extractions
  • Oral surgery
“Far too many families lack access to affordable dental coverage which can lead to worse health issues,” said Backer. “CTMOM and the volunteers should be proud of the good work they are doing.”

The space at Harbor Yard is being donated as well.

Rep. Backer is in his 11th term serving the 121st House District in Stratford. 
This has been a press release from his office.
