Question 3

Is dental care in Etobicoke covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

Most dental services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Certain dental surgeries including fracture repairs, jaw reconstruction, complex jaw bone surgeries and tumour removal may be covered by OHIP in some cases - for example, if they are performed in a hospital.  While there are some public dental programs in Ontario, these are limited to children (under 18 years old) from very low-income families. People receiving social assistance may also be able to access basic dental programs. There are no provincial dental health programs available to seniors and low-income adults.

Question 4

How can I pay for dental treatment in Etobicoke?

Accepted Answer

Most residents of Etobicoke pay for dental care out of pocket or use private insurance.  Your dentist in Etobicoke wants to help you receive the dental care you need to maintain a healthy smile. If you do not have dental insurance and cannot afford to pay for the dental care you require, ask about financing options or a payment plan at your dentist's office.

Question 5

Should I call my dentist or go to the Emergency Room (ER) for tooth pain in Etobicoke?

Accepted Answer

Calling your dental office is always a good first option as many Etobicoke dentists provide emergency or urgent care.  You can also search for dentists offering emergency services near you on the hellodent website if your dentist is not available. While the Emergency Room (ER) of your local hospital may be another option, the ER is unlikely to treat a dental problem unless it's an emergency.

Question 6

Can I get a tooth pulled at a hospital in Etobicoke?

Accepted Answer

Tooth removal may be covered under OHIP in extremely rare cases. You will likely need prior approval from OHIP, and the procedure may be done at a hospital in Etobicoke.  However, most Etobicoke dentists will offer tooth extraction services. If you are looking for a dentist near you, hellodent can help.
