Why do dentists make so much?

Do dentists in Canada all make the same amount of money?

  • since health care is free in Canada... I'm assuming the government puts all the dentists at the same price?

  • Answer:

    Dentistry is not covered under most provincial health plans. So no.

Canadian health care does not include dentistry, does not include any type of medicines (prescription or over the counter), does not include eye exam fees and does not include prescription glasses. In fact in Ontario you have to pay annual insurance premiums to the government on top of all the taxes just for health care. Definitely not free and definitely a crappy system. --------------------------------------… Do Canadian dentists set their own price? Answer: Yes, Canadian dentists don't deal with the government at all! They can set 100% of their prices completely on their own. are some dentists cheaper than others? Answer: Yes.

Nope.

The Canadian Dental Association has a recommended price list for all dentists to follow, however it is a guideline and individual dentists can charge more or less. For example when I lived in London, Ontario my dentist charged about 70% the CDA recommended prices. However moving here to Toronto most dentists charge 90-100% of the recommended price.
