Dental Health Bus
Check for closures before you visit the bus:
Our dentists provide free emergency dental services such as x-rays, dental fillings, extractions or removal of teeth, and antibiotics for dental infections for Hamilton adults with low income and no other dental coverage.
- Come to the location where we park the bus to see a dentist.
- No appointments are booked; we see you on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Priority is given to people with emergencies.
Clients with Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program coverage cannot access dental services on the bus.
Important - Please bring a list of your current medications and/or the name of your pharmacy with you. Patients are assessed based on urgent dental need rather than order of arrival. Staff assess patients at 8:30 am and 1:00 pm and at other times when possible. While we try to see as many patients as we can, unfortunately we cannot always treat everyone who arrives with dental emergencies. We thank you for your understanding.
Inclement Weather in the event that both the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board and the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board are closed due to inclement weather, the Dental Health Bus will be closed.
