Dental screening clinics
Public Health Sudbury & Districts offers free dental screening for eligible children and youth 17 and under who do not have dental insurance and/or cannot afford dental care.
A registered dental hygienist will provide a visual dental screening to identify signs of urgent dental needs. Dental screening is not a full checkup, but it is a quick and efficient way to determine the condition of an individual’s oral health.
If you don’t have dental insurance and/or cannot afford dental care, we can find out if you qualify for financial assistance through Healthy Smiles Ontario.
No appointment necessary!
