Is that some quirk of the Canadian Health Service? (Sorry, I don't
know what your health system's called.) Here it can be very hard to
find an NHS dentist who's taking new patients (there's no problem in
Cardiff, but that's unusual), but no-one has to pay any more than
anyone else for NHS dental treatment, there are though some groups who
are exempt -- exempt list here:
