Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often through employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits, social assistance recipients - Healthy Smiles Ontario). Always verify potential public coverage and check your private dental insurance details before treatment.
