Dental Care 2018 Shows Canada Among Leaders in Dental Care Utilization

Statistics Canada recently released information about how Canadians are caring for their teeth and oral health. Data regarding oral health habits, insurance coverage, and dentist visits were sourced from the 2018 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and shared with the public in a Health Fact Sheet: Dental Care 2018

The fact sheet highlights an important message: oral health plays a significant role in overall health.

The summary also echoes the Canadian Dental Association’s (CDA) recommendation that Canadians:

  • Brush at least twice each day.
  • Floss once each day.
  • Visit the dentist every six months for routine and preventative care.

Look for our CDA Essentials Magazine article on the Statistics Canada Dental Care 2018 report, landing on your desk the week of November 4th, 2019.
