Practice Activities

Mission of Mercy 

The Kansas Mission of Mercy is the premier event sponsored by the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation. The first Kansas Mission of Mercy was held in Garden City, Kansas in 2003 and was modeled closely after the existing programs in Virginia and Texas. The idea and focus of KMOM is simple: to create a dental clinic in a large public space and then treat as many children and adults as possible, free of charge.

Fales Pediatric Dentistry has been involved in every KMOM since it started in 2003. All our team members are thrilled to be able to participate in such a worthwhile effort for children living in Kansas. We are looking forward to the next KMOM in Manhattan, Kansas, in January, 2017.

Another opportunity for Dr. Fales to volunteer his services is through the America's Dentists Care Foundation. Dr. Fales is currently serving as President of the Board of Directors of this organization and he and his team have traveled to 13 different states to assist in those states' Mission of Mercy projects. This year, the FPD team has traveled to Topeka, KS, and Minnesota for MOM projects. Upcoming MOM trips are planned to Missouri and Louisiana. The entire team is looking forward to other opportunities to travel to other parts of the country to help children in need.
