The Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences Mobile Dental Clinic works with community groups and agencies on the island of Montreal to provide free dental care and to promote oral health education to vulnerable populations. The mobile clinics provide basic dental care to over 300 patients per year.
The clinic is run by McGill dental medicine students, volunteer dentists, and support staff. Through partnerships with local community groups and agencies, the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences can go to community locations and set up a dental clinic composed of 15 chairs throughout the academic year.
The clinic is made possible entirely through philanthropic support from donors and fundraising events. Visit the McGill Giving website to support the Mobile Dental Clinic.

How to become a patient
To receive dental services from the Mobile Clinic, you need to contact one of the partner agencies and be referred by them.
People with private dental insurance, receiving social assistance, or have dental care covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) or Medicare (RAMQ) are not eligible for the Mobile Clinic as these plans cover basic dental care in a private dental office at little or no cost. If you already have coverage but cannot find a dentist, consult the Ordre des dentistes du Québec website where you can search for a dentist in your area.
Please note that depending on when and where you apply, it could take as long as one year to become a patient.
If you are not accepted by one of our agencies, we invite you to apply to become a patient of the Undergraduate Teaching Clinic.
