About COMOM
Too many Coloradans lack access to basic dental care. COMOM is a portable, 125-chair dental clinic set up in a large public arena that provides free dental screenings and treatment to children and adults. Since it was established in 2007, COMOM volunteers have treated almost 11,000 patients and provided over $8.5 million in donated care. Patients from all areas of Colorado attend and benefit from this free annual clinic.
