Care Payment Options

In Canada, dental and dental hygiene services are not covered by provincial healthcare plans. The College does not set fees, however the Ontario Dental Hygienists’ Association provides its members with a suggested fee guide. Depending on the setting in which you choose to receive dental hygiene treatment, the fees and method of payment will vary, so it’s a good idea to clarify the process before your appointment. Here are some suggestions:

• Ask for a fee estimate and break down
• Ask if there is a fee for home visits

• Ask your dental plan provider if they pay for direct dental hygiene care
