The CHEO Research Institute/UOttawa are looking for volunteers in their “Leveraging the Tooth Fairy” Study

Help researchers at the CHEO Research Institute and UOttawa explore how mental health and oral health are connected. The study examines whether children with or without mental health challenges show differences in baby tooth mineralization.

You can help by donating your child’s baby tooth (fallen out or removed), and completing a short checklist if your child is between 5–17 years old.

Questions can be sent to ParLab@Dal.ca.
