Promoting equitable access to dental care in Edmonton and surrounding communities
WHAT WE DO
The Dental Equity Project is a community initiative addressing barriers to dental care in three key ways:
Developing easy-to-understand resources on oral health and preventative care, with particular attention to making dental education relevant and accessible for diverse communities.
Creating plain-language and visual guides to publicly funded dental programs, including the CDCP, and lower-cost dental care options available across Edmonton.
Organizing donation drives with community members and local dental clinics to distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss to communities across Edmonton and surrounding rural areas.
