Does the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan cover dental care?

Most people in Calgary pay for dental care via private insurance or out of pocket. If you cannot afford to pay for the dental treatment you need and do not have a dental plan ask your dentist about a payment plan or financing options. There are also a variety of social programs offered by the Government of Alberta and other agencies to help low-income Albertans cover the cost of their dental care needs.  Always discuss treatment details and associated costs with your dentist before you receive the service. Your dentist wants to help you receive the dental health care you need. Learn More
