Seniors Dental Program

York Region facilities closed to the public

As part of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, only one York Region facility that provides seniors dental services is open to clients who have a booked appointment. Please note, if your appointment was cancelled, an Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program staff member will contact you to rebook, once appointments become available at this facility.

Please call 1-877-464-9675 ext.75809 to speak to a Registered Dental Hygienist or Certified Dental Assistant about the Ontario Seniors Dental Care program. The program continues to take calls and is assisting clients with emergency dental needs.

The dental clinic at the new York Region facility 17150 Yonge Street in Newmarket is now open and treating residents enrolled on the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program (OSDCP).

Seniors on the waitlist will be called by Public Health to schedule an appointment. Thank you for your patience while we proceed through the waitlist. To enroll on the OSDCP, please go to ontario.ca/seniorsdental. If you require assistance with enrolment, you can call us at 1-877-464-9675 ext 75809. Enrolled residents must call to have their name added to the waitlist.

If you have a dental emergency, call us at 1-877-464-9675 ext 75809.

York Region Public Health is working with the Ministry of Health to provide services for the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program to eligible Ontario residents.
