Centre for Community Oral Health (CCOH)


Testimonials

Socioeconomics status plays an important role in treatment outcomes since dental work can be very costly. This is why it is important to engage in community service as it provides an alternative to the individuals who need it most...I believe I can make a difference in the community...it is important to ensure that all patients are respected and receive the most appropriate treatment best suited to their personal needs...this rotation has reinforced my perspective on rural and Northern communities...which is why I have decided to work there...

The service learning programs provided by CCOH are unsurpassed. These programs serve Manitoba’s most needy, while at the same time, giving students an opportunity to work directly with special needs patients. These broad-based community outreach programs help keep the Faculty of Dentistry at the centre of our community as we provide much-needed oral health care to underserved populations in Manitoba.

I think it is marvelous to have the dental clinic at Deer Lodge Centre where my husband is living. I am pleased with the care my husband receives here. I would not be able to take him to a normal clinic in his condition.
