Newcomer Clinics
Providing oral health care for those new to Canada
In partnership with
Many newcomers arrive in Canada with existing or unmet oral health needs due to cultural barriers, language, transportation, and financial challenges. In addition, oral health literacy may be low and oral health may be low on the list of priorities. Newcomers may not acknowledge an oral health issue until it is in an advance stage.
Our Newcomer Clinics help overcome these barriers so that everyone can receive the quality care they need for a price and at a place that works for them.
