There are two no-cost preventive Health Unit Dental clinic sites. At these sites, children aged 0-17 receive free dental health screening and preventive services.

Please call us to book an appointment.  Children are screened and if they do not have cavities and need the care of a dentist, then they can enroll in the Healthy Smiles Ontario Preventive Services Only where they can receive the services below at no cost at the Health Unit Dental Clinics.

If a child does have an obvious concern, they can enroll in Healthy Smiles Ontario Emergency and Essential Services Stream and receive care at a dental office for one year.

At our dental clinics, we make sure your child’s teeth are developing in a healthy way. At the visit, the dental team will:

• Screen for cavities and signs of tooth decay
• Screen for healthy tooth development
• Provide tips on how to keep your child’s mouth clean and cavity-free
• Provide free fluoride treatment, cleaning and sealants if needed
• Enroll your child in Healthy Smiles Ontario Emergency and Essential Services Stream to have cavities fixed by a Dentist
• Book your child back 6 months after their appointment so that your child is regularly screened and receiving preventive services.
