    In Canada the public health cover doesn’t cover dental so you’ll have little luck in that category. You might get a free cleaning and scan but little else. It’s like one of the few things they’ve been dragging their feet on still.

    A lot of people live on Advil until the tooth falls out on its own. Or if they can afford the cheap option: have it pulled.

    You still need to get private coverage for anything more.

      There’s a recent federal Canadian dental health care plan that expands the options for people who make under 90k a year or something along those lines.

      Might be worth a look

        For the bulk of the population (between ages 18 - 64) the program doesn’t start until 2025 … so soon.

      Having public healthcare is a miracle!!. You should be grateful for that.
