OK, i need to chime in here, there is illness related work loss here in Canada. Also, you can go bankrupt from dental work if you cannot afford dental insurance or your job doesn't offer it (which most jobs that are not union/higher corp don't). You can literally die from poor dental hygiene, and even if you brush your teeth every day and floss, that doesn't mean your scott free from visiting the dentist.

In it's first three months, Canada's new Dental care plan has 75% of dentists signed up and 2.3m people.

As part of a phased rollout, the government began accepting claims for dental coverage for seniors in May and expanded eligibility to children under the age of 18 and Canadians with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate in June.

Remaining eligible Canadians are scheduled to gain access in 2025.

yes, the reason i didn't mention that, is because that's very dependent on the next government. it will be around till the next election coming very soon. current polls have the conservative government getting a majority and its expected they will cut programs like this.
