When I thought that everything seems so perfect and then suddenly my hubby is feeling kind of sad because of toothaches. During the holidays, that's one thing or situation that you don't want to happen. It will spoil almost everything. No amount of good, delicious, flavourful feast of food is tantamount to dental problems. That's a pain hard to resist. It's monumental kind of pain and hurt.
You wont believe how much is the cost of dental works: tooth cleaning, tooth extraction, fillings or tooth removal in Canada. Staggering cost that your monthly wages gone in an instant.
Tooth removal is very, very costly! Without dental insurance, a basic, regular tooth removal has price range of $75 to $300 for non-surgical. $150 to $650 surgical for extraction utilizing anesthesia. ONLY FOR ONE TOOTH.
Impossible right? I think the cost of tooth removal is only P250 (pesos) in Philippines before year 2000. Or maybe 400 to 500 pesos only for one tooth removal this year of 2019. What could be the true, real price now? There are millions of dentists in Philippines. The competition for labor/service is staggering high so the demand is high, the price is low. Meaning? Not too many Canadians visit their dentists and their service is not in demand. Not really in demand or Canadians cannot afford the price of dental care.
Mostly seniors are the ones who should benefit for dental service and that's the reason why the NDP Leader had it in his plans. However, he didn't win as Prime Minister so the dental problems would be just as bad as medical care. Uhm, you wished there are Filipino-Canadian representatives in the Parliament and would bring some dentists from Philippines to practice their profession here. Why not? In the olden days when doctors and nurses are sent to do their public works in Asian countries as part of their "rural practice or training." This medical and dental training was once part of the duty of the International Red Cross and Philippine Red Cross.
