Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition

Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition Oral health, Organization, Saskatchewan, Coalition The SHR-DHP supervisor was proactive in the development process.

The concept of an oral health coalition began as a plan to expand partnerships in the community and was identified during a Saskatoon Health Region- Dental Health Program (SHR-DHP) Review in 2007. Best practice literature at the time stated that developing a coalition focused on oral health and including community partners and stakeholders was an excellent practice to expand the importance of oral

health to a broad and diverse group of individuals and agencies. This would allow for an intersectoral approach for problem solving and working together to improve the oral health of the community. From 2008-2010 the supervisor presented to the professional dental associations and various community groups. The presentations focused on the dental health program review, an update on current work related to dental public health in the SHR and an invitation to be involved in the Saskatoon Oral Health Coalition. Associations, groups and agencies that were approached expressed a keen interest to be involved. The inaugural meeting of the Saskatoon Oral Health Coalition (OHC) was May 26/2010. Over 70 people were in attendance with a wide variety of agencies and groups represented. There was wide support for the need for an Oral Health Coalition to tackle many of the oral health issues in the area. The coalition set about meeting twice each year. This schedule continues with a spring and fall meeting. There is consistent representation from a wide variety of interested individuals and groups. Overall membership is approximately one-third oral health professionals with the remainder being other health professionals, education, government and community agencies. Between 2010-2012, there was a shift in direction for the coalition driven by the Saskatoon OHC members. On October 30th, 2012 members voted to change the name of the coalition to the Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition and broaden the reach to include the province. The focus is on oral health issues and concerns related to populations at high risk of oral disease and low/minimum access to oral care.

💙 Every smile has a story. Every story has the power to inspire. We're honoured to share Maksim & Yegor's Story—a heartfelt testimonial that reminds us why the Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition exists.

Like so many individuals and families across our province, they faced challenges navigating oral health care. Their journey is one of resilience, hope, and the difference that compassionate support can make.

👧 Every Child Deserves a Healthy Start. A child's smile is more than a smile.

It supports their ability to eat, learn, speak, and grow with confidence.

Yet many children face barriers to accessing oral health education and resources.
SOHC works to support programs that help children and families build healthy habits early.

Because prevention today creates healthier futures tomorrow.

🦷 Oral Health is Overall Health! Oral health is more than just your smile—it impacts your confidence, your ability to eat and speak, and your overall wellbeing.

Yet, many Saskatchewan residents face barriers to accessing care:
• Cost
• Transportation
• Childcare
• Time away from work

At SOHC, we are working to change that through advocacy, education, and community-based initiatives.

Together, we can build healthier communities—one smile at a time.

Why We Do What We Do?Every person deserves the opportunity to smile without pain.

At SOHC, we see firsthand how oral health challenges affect children, seniors, newcomers, Indigenous communities, people with disabilities, and families experiencing financial hardship.

We do this work because access to oral health care should not depend on your postal code, income, or circumstances.

Together, we can create change. https://www.saskohc.ca
