Dental screening clinics

Peel Public Health has reopened some dental screening clinics in the community after the COVID-19 response.

Good oral health is important to a child’s overall health. Untreated tooth decay may lead to pain and infection which may result in difficulty eating, speaking, and learning.

A dental screening is a quick assessment by a registered dental hygienist who will look inside the child's mouth. A dental screening identifies children who may need dental care. This does not replace a regular dental visit.

Eligibility

Dental screening in our clinics is provided to children who:

Did not receive a dental screening at school.
Are not yet in elementary school (preschoolers).
Missed their elementary school dental screening.
Are in high school or out of school and are 17 years old or younger.

Fees

The dental screening is free of charge.
