GFTH ANNOUNCES CHX TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERSHIP
A new national partnership between CHX Technologies of Toronto (CHX) and the Canadian charity, Gift from the Heart (GFTH), will provide Prevora and other preventive oral healthcare services to the growing numbers of Canadian adults experiencing chronically poor oral health. The service will start in early 2021. It features affordable, evidence-based, painless oral healthcare in venues frequented by high risk adults, such as the independent hygiene practice, the community health centre, the family physician’s practice, hospitals, the pharmacy and the retirement residence. A tele-oral health service is planned so as to further improve access.

PARTNERS
Give a Gift from the Heart
We all know someone who cannot financially afford preventative dental hygiene care. They are the under served and vulnerable people of our communities.
They are the neglected, those without dental insurance or those on a fixed income, the fearful and those who are not able to access oral health care. In 2008, Gift from the Heart began as a one day event which allowed Registered Dental Hygienists to give back to their communities by providing no cost dental hygiene care. The response was overwhelming.
We welcome your participation all April 10th, 2021! Make a difference and volunteer! Change a life…Save a life. The benefits to you and your community are endless. We all know people who are struggling and we can lift them up and give them something to smile about.

Our Mission
The Gift from the Heart Charity links Canadians with Registered Dental Hygienists, raises awareness about access to oral health care issues and emphasizes the role of the Registered Dental Hygienist as a primary oral health care provider.
Our Vision
The Gift from the Heart hopes for a future where all Canadians who experience barriers will have access to oral health care through a Registered Dental Hygienist and experience improved overall health outcomes and better quality of life.
Our Values
The WHO (World Health Organization) states that: health professionals play a central and critical role in improving access and quality health care for the population.
They provide essential services that promote health, prevent diseases and deliver health care services to individuals, families and communities based on the primary health care approach.
We believe that through Gift from the Heart Charity events more Canadians will be able to access oral health care.
