Dallas, TX, Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Benevis-affiliated dentists are proud to announce that they are partnering with the Texas Mission of Mercy (TMOM) to provide free dental care for veterans and their spouses on Friday, November 4th and Saturday, November 5th. This year’s event will be hosted at the Veteran’s Dental Clinic at the Garland Salvation Army facility located at 451 W. Avenue D.
