How do I pay my dentist for wisdom tooth removal in Ontario, Canada?!
Question: How do I pay my dentist for wisdom tooth removal in Ontario, Canada.?
I have an intrusive wisdom tooth which I need to get removed... I am a student living in Ottawa and this is the first time I've had to see a dentist since I came to Canada. I have OHIP but I heard that they don't cover wisdom tooth removal, and I don't have any other kind of insurance. Will I just have to pay for the procedure myself.? Health Question & Answer
Answers:
OHIP does not cover anything dental. You will just have to pay for it yourself unless your school has some medical coverage, which I actually think they might, a lot of schools do. It wouldn't cover the whole thing but maybe part of it. You can talk to your dentist about setting up a payment plan if you can't afford to pay for it all at once, discuss it with him/her.Health Question & Answer
