    But why is dental health so bad? Is going to the dentist very expensive? I don’t have dental insurance and I pay about a 100 euros to get my teeth checked and cleaned yearly. But for most people it’s about 50 for a normal check-up.

      I pay about $200 CAD per visit for cleanings and x-rays, so about $400 per year. That is an acceptable amount for me, personally, but that can be a lot for some people, especially low income households that have more than one child.

      No more expensive than anywhere else in Canada especially now that they’ve launched an instance program for anyone under 18 and over 65 for the whole country.
