Question 3

Is dental care in Windsor covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover most dental services. In some cases, OHIP may cover certain dental surgeries, such as complex jaw bone surgeries, tumour removal, fracture repairs, and jaw reconstruction, if they are performed in a hospital. While Ontario has some public dental programs, they are limited to children (under 18 years old) in very low-income families. There's also a limited selection of basic dental programs for people receiving social assistance. There are no dental health provincial programs for low-income adults and seniors.

Question 4

How can I pay for dental treatment in Windsor?

Accepted Answer

Most Windsor residents pay for their dental care using private insurance or out of pocket. Your Windsor dentist wants 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 need, ask your dentist about financing options or a payment plan.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Many Windsor dentists provide emergency or urgent care, so calling your dental office is always a good first option. If your dentist is not available, you can search for dentist offering emergency services near you on the hellodent website. You can also go to the Emergency Room (ER) of your local hospital. However, the ER is unlikely to treat a dental problem unless it is an emergency.
