The number of low-income Toronto residents receiving emergency dental care through Toronto Public Health clinics increased by nearly 60 per cent in the first half of the year, according to data released Monday.
In January, the city increased the number of TPH clinics offering free emergency dental care to social assistance recipients from five to 23, and the data shows the move is paying off.
