Common questions

How do I know if a Halifax dentist is taking new patients?

Call them. Clinics fill up and open up week to week, so the clinic is the only reliable answer. Ask when their first opening for a new-patient exam is, and what it costs.

What if I need a dentist today?

Choose Toothache or emergency, then Open now. Call before you go and ask what the visit will cost. If swelling spreads to your eye or neck, or you have trouble breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room or call 911.

Does it matter if a Halifax clinic belongs to a dental group?

Not for the care itself. Many Halifax clinics belong to groups such as dentalcorp and 123Dentist and keep their own local name. It’s worth knowing who you’re dealing with, and a group’s website may list dentists from its other locations.

Can I use the Canadian Dental Care Plan at any dentist?

Only at dentists who take it. Choose Dental care plan above to see clinics that say they do, and ask about any extra cost before treatment. Check if you qualify.
