We continue with our look at what Dental Programs the Leeds Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit offers to the people it serves.
The Health Unit’s Manager of Oral Health Program, Jenny Vandermeer told us about The Healthy Smiles Ontario program for kids from eligible low-income households
Vandermeer says that earlier this year income parameters changed for the better.
Healthy Smiles provides free preventive, routine, and emergency dental services for children and youth 17 and under.
Vandermeer says there’s another program seeing changes too. That one is the Emergency and Essential Stream of the Healthy Smiles program.
The Health Unit suggests you give them a call if you’re wondering if your child is eligible. They can be reached at 1-800-660-5853.
