No one should have to go into debt to take care of their health, but the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec does not cover visits to the dentist. Quebec Solidaire will make it easier to care for your teeth by introducing a universal dental care plan in our first mandate
In 2016, one out of every four Quebecers didn't see a dentist because it was too expensive. For Quebec Solidaire, taking care of our bodies includes taking care of our teeth, and allowing all Quebecers the ability to see a dentist, regardless of their ability to pay, is a key priority.
A Quebec Solidaire government would offer:
- Complete coverage for children and youth, up until 18 years old
- Cleaning and preventative care, reimbursed at 80% for everyone 18 years of age and older
- 60% reimbursement for dental work (cavities, extractions, implants, dentures, bridges, crowns, orthodontics, etc.) for everyone 18 years of age or older.
