Why doesn't Canada use surplus to start a national dental care plan?

Canada had a huge surplus in money this year, why doesn't it start a new dental care plan so that everyone can have dental coverage without having to pay *** loads of money themselves or to insurance companies? It's stupid because so many sicknesses and diseases are linked to dental hygiene and maintenance, why wouldn't they implement dental care as a preventative sickness measure to help us Canadians maintain good health? This outrages me so much.

I guess it depends on what their other priorities are...

How much would is cost to have a tooth removed?

I have NO dental insurance or any insurance for that matter. My upper most back left molar has been giving me problems for the last couple of days. (this started Wednesday Oct. 21st.). Anyway, how much would it cost if I got my mouth numbed and got it pulled?

Where can I go in Orlando, Florida to have a couple of tooth extractions done for cheap?

I have dental insurance, but the remaining cost is still somewhat expensive. I tried applying for the care credit card and that didnt work. I really need this done and even with my insurance I cannot afford it. Unless my dentist is trying to screw me, how much does a tooth extraction usually cost?
--------------------
Try going to a College or University that teaches dental to students. Where I live the students learn on you for a cheaper price but are very supervised by their professors. Good Luck.

How much would the cost of teen invisalign be about each month or every visit?

Also, what is a good dental insurance that covers braces. I have slightly overcrowded teeth and i'm 16. My parents don't have money to pay for it and i was just wondering if it was possible for me to pay it on my own if we switched insurances. I would loveee to have straight teeth. So ifyou could give me a few estimates it would be greatly appreciated :)
--------------------
As far as my knowing,it is a question with various answers,it is definitely depending on the your mind ,providing a great resource here http://www.HealthInsuranceFree.info for reference though.

How much does it cost to have one adult tooth pulled with aneshetic?

I need a root canal and It will cost me $500 for it plus an additional $550 for the crown. I do NOT have dental insurance. I was told from a friend of mine to just have it pulled-but I want to be asleep like I was for my wisdom teeth. I don't want to hear any tooth being pulled out. (My parents had insurance to cover my wisdom teeth when I was 18.)
--------------------
You need to call up an Oral Surgent in your area to check the fee. The doctor I refer my patient to charge one basic fee for general anesthesia for the 1st 30 min and after that every 15 min. I would still encourage you to save the tooth. But check with your dentist the prognosis of the tooth if you are going to have root canal done with a cap. Try to arrange a payment plan too with the office.

What have you found works best to get stains off your teeth?

I use tobacco and, of course, have the stains to go with them. I don't have dental insurance, so that's out. I use Targon mouthwash for the stains, but was wondering what you have found that helps get rid of tough dental stains over the counter?
--------------------
since you do use tobacco i would say you have a worse stain than just a typical coke or coffee stain. the best thing to do is get your teeth whitened by your dentist and stop using tobacco. if you are not willing to spend so much money go with crest white strips. they are about 20-40 dollars depending on how many weeks you chose to buy. another good one is the brand qvc.com sells. it is a paste + gel that you use twice a day for 2 weeks. that works great too

I smoke and I have found that the Arm & Hammer Bright Smile toothpaste is AMAZING! It's not a gel, it's a paste so it's got a lot of scrubbing power. Concentrate on the "I-teeth" b/c that's where most folks get more stain than their front teeth. You should see results in the first few days depending on how often you brush your teeth. I brush mine at least 3 times a day (used to be a DA.) It's about 4 bucks at Longs... in a yellow box. Good luck! Oh, one more tip for you, tobacco aside, try to avoid drinking beverages that don't have a straw. If you use a straw, you're able to direct the liquid towards the back of your mouth rather than have it splash across the front of your upper teeth-- this can help you avoid some stain, too. Try it for coffee, wine (I know, cheezy) etc.
