"One of my most memorable memories from 平特五不中 Dentistry has been giving a patient six aesthetic anterior restorations. Before the appointment started, my patient told me he had been looking forward to it for almost an entire month since he would be receiving his 鈥渘ew smile鈥� today. After we were done and I gave him a mirror, he told me his teeth had never looked this good before and that he wouldn鈥檛 feel embarrassed smiling anymore. That appointment has been the highlight of my fourth year in dental school and something I will remember for the rest of my career! I am #mcgillproud since 平特五不中 Dentistry has given me the privilege to provide exceptional dental care under their instruction and supervision."

"平特五不中 Dentistry鈥檚 Outreach program offers no-cost/reduced-cost dental treatment to the underserved and unserved members of our community. As second year students, we have the opportunity to assist the upper year students providing the treatment. Each patient encounter provides us with immense insight into the difficulties many individuals face when seeking accessible dental care, and how oral health can majorly affect an individual鈥檚 overall health.
"With this in mind, we both decided to join the committee organizing the annual Winter Outreach Event: the largest fundraiser of the year supporting this initiative. After many months of planning and hard work, the event took place in early February at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and was a huge success! What made us #平特五不中Proud was seeing our peers, faculty, staff, and members of the community at large come together in support of such an important cause. We are so proud to be a part of a faculty with a social conscience, and hope to continue finding ways to give back in the years to come!"

鈥淒uring the Fall term of this year, I took the opportunity to visit my son鈥檚 kindergarten during their Parents鈥� Day -where the school invites parents to talk about their profession every year. I came with toothbrushes, toothpastes, coloring books, games, and lessons related to oral health. What was initially planned as a 30 minute visit turned into an hour, and every nearby classroom heard the excitement and joined in鈥攕o a room of 15 quickly turned to 60. This has to be my favourite 平特五不中 Moment, because it captures the best parts of the profession: reaching out to the community. And that鈥檚 something that makes me #平特五不中Proud."

"Working at 平特五不中 Dentistry Outreach rotations offering free dental care to the underserved populations in Montreal makes me #平特五不中Proud. I often look back at our time during 1st and 2nd year, when we assisted upper year students during their rotations, and think of how the tables have turned! I am extremely grateful to be a part of a program which allows us to give back to the Montreal community and strengthen the bond within our student body."
