High Prevalence of Tooth Decay in Caribbean Children
Dental caries (tooth decay) remains a significant public health concern among young children in the Caribbean. Despite overall improvements, younger children have not experienced the same decline in dental caries prevalence as older age groups.

Disparities in Dental Health Among Toronto’s Low-Income Children
In Toronto, children attending schools in the lowest-income areas face a disproportionately high rate of dental issues. Specifically, 19% of these children were identified with suspected dental caries, more than double the rate of their peers in the highest-income areas (8%).

Emergency Room Visits for Dental Issues in Ontario
In Ontario, dental problems account for approximately 1% of all emergency room visits, primarily involving low-income adults. These visits are estimated to cost the healthcare system between $16 to $31 million annually, underscoring the need for accessible preventive dental care to alleviate this burden.

DENTAL MISSION
In April 2025, our compassionate dental team journeyed to Grenada to provide free dental care to individuals in underserved communities. From essential extractions to restorative treatments, we delivered relief, restored dignity, and helped bring back the confidence that comes with a healthy smile.
We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, donors, and community partners who made this mission possible. Thank you for helping us make a difference, one smile at a time.
