Mr. Speaker, last week, for Oral Health Month, I went to the Gleam Smile Centre in my riding of Hamilton Mountain. I met with owner Julie DiNardo and her daughter Victoria, who operate the clinic as independent dental hygienists. Treatments at Gleam help patients manage mouth bacteria and avoid trips to the dentist for expensive fillings, replacement crowns, implants and gum surgery. Less harmful bacteria in the mouth means better outcomes and lower health care costs. Perhaps, even more importantly, healthy mouths improve general health. Good dental hygiene means lower risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes, unstable diabetes, Alzheimer's, cardiovascular diseases and some cancers, just to name a few. Our Canada dental care plan is making it easier for people of Hamilton Mountain and people across the country to get access to this life-changing care. I send a huge shout-out, massive props and effusive thanks to all oral health professionals across the country.
