P.E.I. rolls out Mobile Dental Clinics
P.E.I. has announced the roll out of their mobile dental clinics. (Source: Government of Prince Edward Island) Health PEI has announced the arrival of its new Mobile Dental Clinic. The mobile clinic represents a milestone in Health PEI's commitment to improve access to dental services on the island, a news release says. The mobile dental clinic is designed to serve Islanders who face barriers to traditional dental services. The clinic will visit schools, long-term care homes, community care facilities, shelters and outreach centres. 'Good oral health is important to your overall health. For too many Islanders, including seniors, children and those in vulnerable situations, dental care has been out of reach. This mobile clinic changes that by delivering care directly to the people who need it most,' said Mark McLane, minister of health and wellness. The roll out of the clinics will happen in phases, starting with the school-based preventative services this summer and into the upcoming fall school year. The next phases will expand to residential care settings and community outreach centres. Each mobile clinic is equipped with two treatment rooms, one of which is wheelchair accessible and a bariatric-compatible dental chair. The clinics will have a dentist, dental hygienists and dental assistants. 'This is about health, dignity and equity,' said Melanie Fraser, Health PEI CEO. 'We're breaking down barriers and making sure every Islander, regardless of age, income, or location, has access to the care they deserve.' More information is available on P.E.I.'s Dental Care Program. For more P.E.I. news, visit our dedicated provincial page.

Leader in Cape Town dental care now at a third location
With JJS Dentistry now operating in the V&A Waterfront, Durbanville and Stellenbosch, they offer more convenience for your state-of-the-art dentistry work. JJS Dentistry is redefining dental care across Cape Town — it's where clinical excellence meets comfort, and where both your smile and overall health are given the attention they deserve. With three elegant practices now open in Waterfront, Durbanville, and Stellenbosch, JJS Dentistry is more accessible than ever. Patients can expect an experience that's a far cry from the cold, clinical visits of the past. Each space is designed with luxury, warmth, and minimalism in mind, creating an environment that's as calming as it is cutting-edge. At the heart of JJS Dentistry is Dr JJ Serfontein, a leader in cosmetic and general dentistry, known for creating natural, bespoke smiles that restore both beauty and function. A member of prestigious organisations such as the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (SAAAD) and the International Team for Implantology (ITI), Dr Serfontein believes in combining innovation with empathy. 'The smiles I create are both functional and beautiful,' he says. 'With modern digital workflows and the highest-grade materials, every treatment is planned with precision and care.' From same-day crowns and veneers using digital dentistry to pain-free professional cleanings and advanced orthodontic solutions, JJS Dentistry's approach focuses on minimally invasive care that values the patient's time, comfort, and individuality. What truly sets JJS Dentistry apart is the way each location mirrors a vision: dental care that feels more like a luxury experience than a medical appointment — complete with Netflix at the chair, soothing décor, and a team trained in reducing anxiety and enhancing care outcomes. But JJS Dentistry goes far beyond aesthetics, and this is where their oral hygiene team steps in. VIDEO: Oral and overall health with microbiome testing Each of the three branches is home to expert oral hygienists who play a vital role in preventive care and patient education. Using advanced techniques like air polishing with warm water and flavoured powders, cleanings are now gentler, more sensory-friendly, and more thorough than ever. Most notably, JJS Dentistry offers oral microbiome testing — a powerful diagnostic tool that screens for harmful bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. This pathogen isn't just a leading cause of gum disease and tooth loss — it's also been linked to serious systemic conditions, including Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer. This unique integration of cosmetic excellence and medical-grade diagnostics means patients receive not just a more confident smile, but a healthier future, too. Whether you're transforming your smile or taking control of your oral health, JJS Dentistry welcomes you to a dental journey that is innovative, luxurious, and always personalised. To see some of the work they do, have a look at their Facebook and Instagram feeds – you'll be blown away by the brand new smiles they produce.
