 They came. They worked. They left.Most at their own expense.In November 2009, the Texas Mission of Mercy, call it TMOM, treated over 1,000 low-income patients from the West Texas area that were without access to dental care. More than 750 dental and community volunteers, from the Hub City area and beyond, converged at the Exhibit Hall of the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The space was divided to accommodate a full range of services, including: patient waiting areas, triage for assessment of priorities, a radiology department, a lab facility for limited tooth replacement and dental treatment areas, for services ranging from cleaning and tooth extraction to impressions and root canals. 
"The community level of commitment as far as the volunteers go had just been overwhelming. We had local dentists, and a large number of out of town dentists who had flown in to stay here at their own expense volunteering their time to help our citizens." Dr. Kathleen Nichols, D.D.S., a Lubbock dentist and chairperson of the TMOM project, is proud to have been a part of the project, which was sponsored by the . Nichols is also proud to be part of a community willing to come forward with numerous donations including food, monetary gifts, , and plumbing supplies. Kathleen Nichols Dentistry and Dr. Nichols herself, would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the dentists, dental assistants, and numerous other volunteers who made the Texas Mission of Mercy project in Lubbock a huge success. Thank you for restoring the smiles in our community.
