Since 2019, the DentaMed mobile dental clinic has seen between 2,000 and 3,000 children for more advanced cases.

Led by managing partner Dr. Christopher Okunseri, professor and predoctoral program director of dental public health at Marquette's School of Dentistry, the clinic makes visits to several schools in Milwaukee to treat underserved children.
