What Should You Bring?
- Your Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) member information, if applicable
- Your private dental insurance information, if applicable
- A list of your current medications
- Any questions or concerns about your teeth and gums
What If You Don’t Have CDCP Coverage?
You can still visit us and ask questions about dental coverage. Our team can explain the Canadian Dental Care Plan, share general information about eligibility, and guide you on how to apply. Read more about CDCP coverage with DoorStep Dental.
If you do not have CDCP or private insurance, please speak with us before your appointment so we can explain the options and any applicable costs. You can also visit the Government of Canada website to learn more about the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
Missed an Appointment? We Can Bring Dental Care to You
If all seven appointments at the food bank are filled, you can still receive care from DoorStep Dental. We provide mobile dental hygiene at:
- Private homes (house-call dental hygiene)
- Retirement residences and seniors living at home
- Long-term care facilities
- Community organizations
- Other care settings across Kingston and Eastern Ontario
We direct bill CDCP and private insurance providers, so you only pay any applicable co-payment instead of paying the full amount upfront and waiting for reimbursement. Call 226-507-2464 or book a home dental hygiene visit.
Why We Are Bringing Dental Care to the Community
At DoorStep Dental, we believe access to dental hygiene care should not be limited by financial or transportation challenges.
Many people delay regular dental visits because of cost, mobility issues, or difficulty reaching a dental provider. Missing regular cleanings can allow small concerns to become bigger oral health problems.
Partnering with Partners in Mission Food Bank is another step towards making dental hygiene more accessible in our local community. We are proud to bring our mobile services to a place where people already come for support, and we hope this clinic helps community members get the care and guidance they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
