The Grace Dart Foundation recently announced that it is donating $300,000, over two years, to McGill Universityâs Faculty of Dentistry and its New Community Program â Dent ma maison. This is a new integrated oral health program for seniors providing home-based preventive and curative dental services in the CIUSSS Centre-Sud and West of Montreal area.
The Dent ma maison program will promote the maintenance of independence, health and oral health for seniors living at home. Over the long term, the hope is to expand and implement this innovative model of home-based dental care across the province.
âThe Faculty of Dentistryâs service to the community stands as a model for other dental schools nation-wide. The elderly patients in the Dent ma Maison program will receive excellent care, and in turn, our students will gain skills and experience by performing procedures that will help them prepare for their future careers as professional dentists.â said Dr.Elham Ema

The Government of Canada is investing approximately $1.4 million through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, to support a pan-Canadian study investigating COVID-19 infection rates, transmission risks, and immune system responses of those working in dental clinics, laboratories, and offices in universities. Dr. Walter Siqueira (DDS, PhD), professor and associate dean academic in the College of Dentistry is a leader in this study through the USask Salivary Proteomics Research Laboratory, one of only a few labs in the world focused on applied salivary research. The study, which is co-led by Drs. Paul Allison (DDS, PhD) and Sreenath Madathil (PhD) of McGill University’s Faculty of Dentistry and Dr. Michael Glogauer (DDS, PhD) of the Faculty of Dentistry at University of Toronto, includes investigators from all 10 Canadian dental schools.
