Should preventative dental care be covered under Canada’s universal healthcare plan?

Bad teeth can kill you. Teeth are important to your health. Dental care should be covered in universal health care.

Make dental care government owned

Yes but dentists fees should be compared to those around the world. You could have a government dentist whos prices are comparable with other countries, and a privatized option, the private dentist would then have to compete with the government dentist for prices and quality of work.

I think it should be, for children and those of very low income, or even seniors.

depending on circumstance yes and no

haha chicken lol

A little over half or something depending on your income

Just add a dental sector to the universal health care while private companies are keeper to the private sector

Preventative care should be for those under 18. After that it should not be free but subsidized for preventative

some of it should be covered

only in extreme circmstances

during COVID, raising taxes is a bad idea, but in the future we need to gradually integrate it in

Don’t know enough

I am fine with the current system.

Should be added as an add on at an additional charge as in car and home insurance

Yes, but only for Native born citizens with Canadian bloodline.

No and we need to regulate pricing on dental

Yes. It is a form of healthcare.

Yes but only if the person does not have existing dental insurance coverage (through work or paid privatley) or the means to pay for dental care. This should also apply to people who have exhaused the insurance coverage.

Should be covered under health benefits
