Join the excitement of our silent auction featuring unique items and experiences, and don’t miss our famous live cake auction—a crowd favourite every year!
Thank you to the nearly 400 guests who joined us on March 7, 2026, for the 25th Annual Toothfairy Gala and BCDA Awards. Your presence, generosity, and community spirit made this milestone celebration truly special. We extend our sincere gratitude to all sponsors and donors, whose support continues to make this event possible.
Since its beginnings in 2003, the Toothfairy Gala has grown into the BC dental community’s signature evening—combining recognition, philanthropy, and celebration. From the beloved live cake auction to the presentation of the BCDA Awards, the night honours excellence while giving back to meaningful causes.
Thank you once again for contributing to an unforgettable evening. We look forward to celebrating with you next year.
The Save a Smile (SAS) program, initiated in 1991, supports the urgent dental care needs of children under the age of 19 from low-income families and has funded treatment for over 2,800 children in BC.
In 2009, the UBC Faculty of Dentistry joined as a key partner of the SAS program. The partnership provides opportunities for pre- and post-doctoral dental students to gain valuable experience caring for children and collaborating within a community-based, public health partnership model, which is a core component of their practice management upon graduation.
The SAS program and UBC Dentistry partnership includes public health staff who screen patients for clinical and financial eligibility and ensure that 100% of donated funds are directed to patient care.
