Canada's National Day of Dignity-Based Dental Care.
It began with a smile in Brampton. In 2025, it became a national movement across Canada.
Every October 10, National Dental Care Day brings free, barrier-free dental care to Canadians in need—no forms, no thresholds—just compassion. Nationally launched in 2025, our mission is bigger than oral health: it's dignity, one smile at a time.
Recognized for Civic Leadership in Compassionate Healthcare
National Dental Care Day has been recognized by the Government of Ontario for advancing dignity, compassion, and equitable dental care through volunteer service.
