150 Refugees Finally Given Dental Work - For Free

150 Refugees Finally Given Dental Work - For Free
Many of these refugees haven't been able to see a dentist since they got to Canada - but thanks to local volunteers, their smiles have never been brighter.

Over 150 Syrian refugees who have settled in Canada have just been given their first dental consultation since emigrating from overseas - and it was 100% free of charge.

In addition to the weekend's dental work, any refugees who require a follow-up visit will not be charged when they return.

The session was spearheaded by Syrian orthodontist Dr. Ayan Chamma in collaboration with the Red Cross and volunteers from John Abbott College. Dr. Ayan instigated the event as a means of helping his native people who have struggled in adjusting to Canadian citizenship since their emigration.

Judging by the sparkling smiles on the visitors' faces, however, he accomplished that goal spectacularly.
