A few questions make the first visit easier for everyone.
“Hi, I’m looking for a dentist for my child. Do you see children their age? When’s your first opening after school or on a Saturday? Do you bill my insurance or the dental care plan directly?”
Have your child’s health card and your insurance or dental care plan details handy.
Two programmes can pay for your child’s dental care. Check if your family qualifies.
Free check-ups, cleanings, fillings, x-rays, extractions and urgent care for children and teens 17 and under in lower-income families. Braces aren’t covered. Children whose family gets Ontario Works or ODSP are signed up automatically.
Children under 18 can be covered if the family’s income is under $90,000 and they have no private dental insurance. Parents or guardians apply for them.
The Canadian Dental Association recommends a first visit within six months of the first tooth coming in, or by age one, before there’s a problem. Source
