Question 3

Is dental care in Mississauga covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

Most dental services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). In some cases, dental surgeries such as fracture repairs, jaw reconstruction, complex jaw bone surgeries and removal of tumours may be covered if they are performed in a hospital.  While there are some public dental programs in Ontario, they are limited to children (people under 18 years old) in very low-income families. There's also a limited number of basic dental programs for people who receive social assistance. No provincial dental health programs are available for low-income adults and seniors.

Question 4

How can I pay for dental treatment in Mississauga?

Accepted Answer

Most residents of Mississauga pay for their dental care out of pocket or use private insurance.  Your Mississauga dentist aims to help you get the dental care you need to achieve a healthier smile. If you do not have dental insurance and cannot afford to pay for the dental care you require, ask your dentist about a payment plan or financing options.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Calling your dental office is always a good first option since many Mississauga dentists provide emergency or urgent care.  If your dentist is not available, you can search for dentists who offer emergency services near you on the hellodent website.  You might also go to the Emergency Room (ER) of your local hospital. However, 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 Mississauga?

Accepted Answer

In extremely rare cases and with prior approval from OHIP, tooth extraction may be covered under OHIP and may be done at a hospital in Mississauga.  However, most general dentists in Mississauga will offer tooth extraction services. If you are looking for a dentist near you, hellodent can help.
