Dental Services

The PHCHC believes that good oral health is an important part of good overall health.

Our dental team which includes a dentist, hygienist and dental assistant provide basic dental care 1 1/2 days per week to those who cannot access care due to financial hardship such as those receiving Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support and those with a low annual income who do not have access to dental benefits.

Because cost of dental care is not covered by our provinical health care system the PHCHC charges a fee to recover the costs associated with this service so that we can continue to provide this important component of care.

Those who do not have a dentist and have not been able to obtain necessary dental care due to financial limitations can call the PHCHC to arrange for an appointment. 905-885-2626
