When i asked my kids' pediatrician about dentists for kids, he said you have to pay for private clinics. But Word of Mouth is more effective. I discovered through a friend that Ontario offers free dentistry services for kids less than 17 years old, for the low income family ( less than 20,000 CAD). As newcomers looking for job, we fall into this income bracket for this year :(
The program is called Healthy Smiles Ontario.
You fill a form, and present a copy of your child benefit and the tax, as well as the health cards of the kids, and your and your spouse ID. It takes almost 30 min to process . You will receive a green card, renewable every year.
You can have free dentistry services for the kids at any public or private clinics that accept this service.
Happy Smiles :)
