Healthy Smiles

Ontario’s dentists believe in the power of smiles.

Ontario’s dentists provide dental care to more than 200,000 kids from low-income families through the Healthy Smiles Ontario program.

That’s a lot of smiles, but there is more to do and we can’t do it alone.

We’re committed to playing our part and now is the time for the Ontario Government to step up its support so the Healthy Smiles Ontario program reaches every child in need.
