Reserve Mobile Dental for 2026

Florida Baptist churches and associations may reserve the Mobile Dental Ministry.  Florida Baptists have two units.  The first unit is a 40 foot mobile unit that has two operatories.  This unit provides treatment—extractions and fillings.  The second is a trailer with portable hygiene equipment.  You may reserve either one or both.  The church or association serves as sponsor of the dental mission.  This sponsor is responsible for establishing a local project planning team, enlisting patients, and recruiting dental care professionals, as well as planning for an evangelistic ministry in tandem with the dental ministry.

The following dates in 2026 are available for the Mobile Dental Ministry:
                        June 8-12
