What If You Need a Root Canal But Can’t Afford It?
Dental treatments like root canals can be costly, and not everyone has the means to pay upfront. If you’re worried about the cost, here’s some helpful information about options available in Canada.
Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a government initiative aimed at making dental care more affordable and accessible for eligible Canadians, including low- and middle-income families.
Key Benefits:
-
Coverage for essential dental services, including root canals, fillings, and extractions.
-
Helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for those who qualify.
-
Available through participating dental providers.
What You Can Do
-
Check your eligibility: The CDCP targets certain income brackets and family situations. Visit the official government website or ask your dental clinic for guidance.
-
Use direct billing: Polaris Dental supports direct billing with many insurance plans, including CDCP, to make payment easier.
-
Ask about payment plans: Many dental offices offer financing or payment options to spread out costs.
-
Prioritize treatment: Delaying a root canal can lead to more pain, infection, and costly procedures like extractions or implants.
