Our Professional Associations
Dentistry for a CauseBecause we rise by lifting others
Why We Do it?
Dentistry for a Cause was started by Dr Rustom Appoo in 2016. Initially we did free dentistry for a day in his clinics, however we soon realized we wanted to make a larger impact. So last year we did an extra day of dentistry in 2 of our Belle Rive Dental Clinic and The Dentists at Northgate. All the staff volunteered their time, and we donated our entire billings for that day towards a few local causes that were important to our clinic and a main overseas cause, supporting underprivileged children. What started as an in-house project of Rustom’s clinic has grown, this year with the addition of several other clinics joining the cause in Alberta and British Columbia.
