Hey everyone,
I recently noticed I might have a cavity in one of my teeth and I’m not really sure what the process is to get it checked. I just moved to Kingston and I’ve never been to a dentist here before.
A bit of context:
- I don’t currently have private dental insurance (I’ll be getting it in about 3 months)
- This would be my first visit to a dentist in Canada
I had a few questions and would really appreciate any advice:
How do I find and book an appointment with a dentist in Kingston? Can I just call a clinic directly or do I need a referral?
Roughly how much does a checkup and cavity filling cost without insurance?
Are there any affordable clinics or student clinics in/around Kingston?
Should I wait until I get insurance, or is it better to get it checked right away?
If anyone has been in a similar situation or has recommendations for clinics, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
