Dr. Raj Khanuja founded National Dental Care Day (NDCD) to create a simple, powerful tradition in Canadian healthcare:
One chair. One day. One act of compassion.

What started in 2012 at a small Brampton clinic — offering free dentistry to anyone in need, no forms or questions — grew into a nationwide movement. NDCD celebrates dignity-based healthcare, where every October 10, dental professionals across Canada offer care not for profit, but for people.

Dr. Khanuja believes:
“People don’t avoid dental care because they don’t value it — they sacrifice it for their families.”
NDCD restores dignity, one smile at a time.
