What is Health and Dental Insurance?
For permanent Canadian residents, public and private health insurance facilities are available. Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) is government health insurance covering basic medical facilities. OHIP offers similar benefits to all irrespective of their social or job status.

1. Visits to doctors or hospitals.
2. Hospitalization inclusive of rooms, meals, prescriptions, and nursing facilities.
3. Test essential for diagnosis.

Why You Need Health and Dental Insurance?
OHIP does not cover a few essential health and dental care services. Private Health and Dental Insurance act as an additional coverage over OHIP. As per Canadian statistics, 80% of Canadians are at risk of having chronic diseases because of changing eating and work habits. Uncertainties especially related to health have been increased with changing lifestyle and health and dental insurance has become a basic necessity. 70% of health services are covered by public health insurance while the remaining 30% is capable of burning your pocket, especially dental services. In Canada, Dental services come under one of the expensive services. Some practitioners can charge $150 while another can charge $550 for the same service. Ideally, we should get our dental check once in 6 months but due to the high cost, most people avoid it. This imposes a high risk of getting oral health issues. Having Health and Dental Insurance makes it possible to get regular health and dental check-ups.
