What should I expect at OrMOM?
More than 100 portable dental chairs, lights and units will be set up to treat patients. The chairs will recline and the units will have access to water and suction. Given space restraints at OrMOM, each dentist will be able to have one dental assistant. If a dentist is able to bring more than one assistant, extra assistants will be assigned to work with other dentists or somewhere else in the clinic. As patients register at OrMOM, they will be asked complete a form asking for basic demographic information and their health history. The form will then be used for triage and to record patient treatment information. Patients will be treated based on their most urgent needs, with pain elimination as the number one OrMOM priority. The dentists in triage will be responsible for assessing and prioritizing patients’ treatment needs.
