Oral healthcare is a critical part of aging and overall wellbeing—but many seniors don’t have access to regular dental care. With the global population aged 65 and over growing faster than all other age groups, seniors in our community need your support more than ever.

UBC’s Geriatric Dentistry Program offers a forward-thinking curriculum, where dental students are paired with faculty experienced in working with the geriatric population. Students deliver oral care to residents in long-term care homes, allowing them to develop clinical skills and confidence when working with this population that has unique dental needs. 

Your gift on April 5 will support the next generation of dental professionals to ensure our aging loved ones are taken care of well into the future.
