We are committed to making an ongoing positive contribution to children and oral care in local communities. Grassroots initiatives are run locally in our communities throughout Canada.

We are thrilled to partner with Sinai Health System to create the Centre for Advanced Dental Research & Care, which is the first of its kind in North America. The centre will dedicate its research efforts to finding the underlying causes of periodontal, implant, and oral-maxillofacial conditions that continue to grow among Canadians every year.

The goal is to develop world-leading diagnostics and care standards to put Canada at the vanguard of patient dental care.

We are proud to support a multi-year philanthropic commitment to Autism Speaks Canada (ASC). Funds will go towards the needs of the autism community across Canada.

Since 2010, Autism Speaks Canada has awarded over $4.3 million to 184 projects across the country. In 2018, ASC funded a community grant that aims to reduce anxiety related to dental care using virtual reality.

A visit to the dentist can be an unsettling experience for many, including autistic people. ASC Community Grants program is building capacity of services and supports for autistic individuals and their families.
