A new, expanded public health dental clinic is ensuring more healthy teeth and gums in Chatham. The clinic will serve locals who qualify for the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program, or the Healthy Smiles Ontario Program.
“We were very grateful to be serving Chatham-Kent residents out of our former King Street East location for so many years,” states Carina Caryn, CK Public Health Program Manager, “But with the expansion of the programs and more folks accessing the funding available, it was necessary for us to move to a larger location to better meet the needs of our clients.”
The new clinic is located at 519 King Street West with the entrance off Robertson Avenue.
Staffed by 2 program assistants, 3 certified dental assistants, 2 registered dental hygienists and a dentist, the clinic will offer a variety of services to those who qualify, including exams, preventative services, oral surgeries, and x-rays.
Those looking for more information about the clinic, the Healthy Smiles Ontario program, or the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program are asked to visit www.CKPublicHealth.com/Smile or call 519-355-1071 EXT 5700.
