Do ppl on disability get free dental and others insurance?
I need to go to the dentist but don’t want to pay anything.
No one is on disablity here lol?
Impoverished people can get free insurance through Medicaid. But my husband and I are both disabled and we don’t qualify for Medicaid. We have to pay for Medicare insurance. And with Medicare we have lots of copays etc so it’s not free

It depends on the plan. Most plans cover cleaning twice a year, 4 bitewing xrays per year, and some towards fillings, but not anything else

Is there dental insurance in Canada for those who are on disability? Don’t you have dental insurance through your work?
Not that I am aware of. Yeah I’ll get dental in a few weeks cuz my probation will be finished.
First time I’ve had benefits since I was 25

I used to through AISH in Alberta, but it was minimal. You could have a root canal, but no crown unless you found the money yourself. My private insurance pays for a private room, disability won’t, etc. Possible that your disability in Quebec is more comprehensive.

People on benefits in the UK get free dental treatment. And its the same dental treatment paying people get.

Seriously ? I had no idea. I’m on pip I thought I have to pay.
I think it might be based on ESA or jobseekers rather than PIP
