About Us

The Loving Smiles Foundation Limited was formed in March 2014 as a non-government organization. And in October the same year, we collaborated with the Hong Kong Special Care Dentistry Association Limited to provide a special care dental service. In May 2015, our first clinic “Loving Smiles Special Care Dental Centre” commenced operation. At the same time, we were recognised by the Food and Health Bureau as the service provider of the “Pilot Project for Dental Service for Persons with Intellectual Disability” by the Food and Health Bureau. In addition, we have gradually expanded our service to other special needs groups and disadvantaged communities, such as those with physical disabilities, with Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease, various social welfare beneficiaries and the elderly. And we have also become the service provider of some of the subsidized dental programmes.
