Support for internationally educated dentists building careers in Canada.
Partner with skilled dental professionals and strengthen your practice.
Population growth, workforce shortages, practitioner retirements, and the expansion of the Canadian Dental Care Plan are increasing demand for dental services across Canada. At the same time, internationally educated dentists arrive with valuable skills and experience but face barriers to professional integration and licensure.
More Canadians are seeking dental care, increasing pressure on clinics and communities.
We believe everyone deserves access to quality oral healthcare, and every qualified dental professional deserves a fair opportunity to contribute their skills. Our work combines community oral health, mentorship, workforce integration, and partnerships that strengthen Canada’s oral healthcare system.
Spread A Smile BC Foundation is building a future where every community has access to quality oral healthcare and every qualified dental professional has the opportunity to contribute their skills and experience.
Through community oral health initiatives, workforce development programs, mentorship, and support for internationally educated dentists, we are helping strengthen Canada’s oral healthcare system while creating meaningful opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.
By connecting communities, dental professionals, employers, educators, and industry partners, we are creating pathways to care, careers, and lasting impact across Canada.
Together, we are building smiles, building careers, and building Canada’s dental workforce.
