The Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program (OSDCP) is a government-funded dental program that provides free dental services to eligible seniors.

Seniors are more prone to dental decay, gum disease and oral cancer than other groups, so it is important to have regular checkups. Untreated dental issues can lead to more problems in the future, including chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Did you know you can be registered for both the OSDCP and the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP). For more information on the OSDCP visit ontario.ca/seniorsdental or call the TBDHU Oral Health Program at 807-625-5984 or toll-free 1-888-249-6630.

For more information on the CDCP visit canada.ca/dental or call 1-833-677-6262.

Do you know what's in your drugs? Unlikely. The local drug supply is often unpredictable and may contain harmful substances that aren’t expected. This increases the risk of serious harm or overdose. The only way to know what's in, or not in, your unregulated drugs is to test them!
FREE test kits that can detect Fentanyl, Xylazine, and Benzodiazepine are available for a limited time through TBDHU. Testing kits have everything you need to test your drugs wherever you are.
Call Superior Points at 807-621-7861 to get your kits today! All services are confidential.
If you are interested in more comprehensive drug testing, check out https://norwestchc.org/programs-services/drug-checking-services-2/ or contact NorWest CHC's drug checking team at 807-630-8631.
