In Canada the public health cover doesn’t cover dental so you’ll have little luck in that category. You might get a free cleaning and scan but little else. It’s like one of the few things they’ve been dragging their feet on still.
A lot of people live on Advil until the tooth falls out on its own. Or if they can afford the cheap option: have it pulled.
You still need to get private coverage for anything more.
There’s a recent federal Canadian dental health care plan that expands the options for people who make under 90k a year or something along those lines.
Might be worth a look
People with mild discomfort (e.g. a persistent cough) fill up most of the emergency rooms where I'm from, since the hospital is free. Unfortunately what this means is if you have a non life threatening problem, you have to wait in the same room as people with colds and flues that should be in bed waiting it out and eating soup.
Here in the states, people fill up the ER not because its free... its because they legally cant turn you away without looking at you first...
I've got to be like that after being almost killed by doctors in my first years. Unless it's something urgent or cosmetic, I struggle to trust them. I feel like it'd be the same even if I move to a better country.
