Dental Infection Coverage Benefit

The Issue

When’s the last time you visited the dentist? How much did it cost you?

190 000 000 of citizens refuse to approach dental care due to the costs associated. 

DID YOU KNOW?! 

A simple cavity can lead to extremely lethal infections if left untreated or unnoticed. 5.5% = 2 million and 90 thousand Canadians have untreated coronal cavities.  

Now, if the infection has reached an extensive degree of danger, Manitoba health will cover the cost of reparation, which is amazing. But; why must we reach this level of infection before action is taken? 

To have a benefit, covering (potentially lethal) dental complications, for example, cavities or abscesses early would be ideal for all. Although, this benefit would not cover for example, teeth cleaning or brace instalment simply because these things are not related to lethal health complications. 

Sincerely, 

Avery Anne Vincent
