The grant program's main objective is to help children whose socio-economic status impacts on their access to professional oral care and adversely affects their oral health habits at home. The program philosophy seeks to increase access to, and education on, oral health care by encouraging volunteerism in the health professions community. By also encouraging synergy between community based applicants and awardees, the grant program seeks to pool limited resources within dentistry, industry and public charities to significantly reduce the level of children’s oral disease through education.
