Detailed Introduction

The Olympia Union Gospel Mission (OUGM) Dental Clinic, located at 309 Washington St NE, Olympia, WA 98501, is a vital part of the broader Olympia Union Gospel Mission's efforts to serve the community. Established in 2003, this clinic operates on a no-fee basis, providing essential dental care to low-income individuals, and those who are uninsured or underinsured, primarily residing in Thurston, Mason, and Grays Harbor counties. The clinic is staffed by dedicated volunteer dental professionals, including dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants from the community, ensuring high-quality care. While primarily focused on urgent and acute care for issues like infection and pain, it also addresses other critical dental needs. This includes services for seniors with diabetes through programs like the Local Impact Network (LIN), which recognizes the link between oral health and overall well-being, aiming to improve health outcomes for diabetic patients. The clinic also assists patients awaiting acceptance to transplant lists, as dental health is often a prerequisite for such procedures. Beyond immediate pain relief, the clinic's mission is to instill self-confidence and open doors for employment and other opportunities by addressing visible dental problems that can hinder self-esteem and social interaction. They emphasize that healthy teeth and smiles can significantly impact an individual's future. The Olympia Union Gospel Mission, as a whole, is an evangelical Christian rescue mission founded in 1995. It aims to share God's love by meeting the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of individuals in crisis. Their comprehensive programs extend beyond dental care to include food, shelter, addiction recovery, life skills training, and various forms of benevolence. The dental clinic specifically embodies this mission by providing a tangible service that directly alleviates suffering and contributes to the overall well-being and dignity of those they serve. The clinic is funded entirely by generous donations from individuals, churches, and companies, as it does not receive government funding.

I absolutely love this place the staff is very friendly and professional. They care about your needs and get you in and out quick. I choose this place over any other dental clinic around. I've had allot of work done and have never had a bad experience or have ever been in pain. If you ever need dental work done on an emergency bases this is the place to go.

My boyfriend had been dealing with tooth pain and no dental insurance for too long. They were so welcoming, kind, and helpful. I appreciate the work they do and how they dont in any way make you feel judged. You guys are such a blessing!

I wanted to leave a great review for this place after they helped fix a broken tooth and the staff were so understanding back in April. I waited a bit to write this as I had some travel for medical stuff and knew they were going to call me in for a cleaning at a later date. So I thought I'd roll everything all into one nice friendly review. I thought. . . The staff here during the initial visit were friendly and listened to me when I said that my blood pressure always goes high during dental appointments due to PTSD, hypervigilance, a fear of dentists stemming from childhood, etc.

They took my BP more than once to see that after a bit of being in the office that it was indeed going down and everything went fine. That appointment went great and I thought they were awesome. That was not the case this time. . . The initial staff at the desk and taking my x-rays were friendly again. When it came to check my blood pressure this time, it was as usual just slightly over the mark for what they accept.

This time however the hygienist, whom I hadn't met on prior visits, decided to be aggressive in their handling with me over it. They kept trying to bring up that I needed to see doctors and get on medications to treat it and would not listen to anything I had to say regarding the situation. They re-tested me after a bit and I was within range, and even then she didn't stop making comments about needing to see doctors for my heart and weight. I finally had to walk out after telling them that their behavior was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I would honestly rather have all the teeth rot out of my head than be treated the way I was today.
