Mission Month

DentaQuest is a mission-driven organization.

As a mission-driven organization, everything we do — whether it is processing claims, recruiting dentists, teaching kids to brush and floss, developing plan options, supporting community needs or using scientific research for better ways to keep mouths healthy — is directed at improving the oral health of all.

Mission Month (September/October) is a way to honor the communities where we live and work. Throughout Mission Month, DentaQuest team members volunteer during business hours to support local organizations.

In a typical year, 55% of our national workforce participates, logging an excess of 3,100 volunteer hours and serving more than 20 organizations. (See video highlighting this work below!)

During the pandemic, Mission Month has looked a little different for us. With the health and safety of our staff and communities in mind, we are lending our support from a distance, delivering home dental hygiene kits to local schools, food pantries and shelters, assembling and donating blankets to shelters and writing and mailing letters of gratitude to our service men and women.
