Your support is essential to bringing the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences to its full potential, and to helping us shape the future of dentistry for the better.

Dentistry has moved far beyond the dental chair. We now know that oral and dental health are fundamental to overall wellbeing. Contributions to clinical methodology, medical research and new treatments are putting oral health at the core of health care. Yet access to dental care is unequal, and many Canadians fall through the cracks.

Today’s dental students will be key players in building a better world for the future, and improving the quality of life of every individual in society. With your help, we can make sure our Faculty provides students the resources and skills they need to excel in the changing world that awaits them.
