Dental care / by Brandon Doucet
RK52.4 .C3 D68 2023Y
Fernwood 2023

"A pearly white smile is a luxury. Since dental care is not included in Canada's universal healthcare system, services are provided based on the ability to pay. As a result, large segments of the population are shut out of access to these services. The history of dentistry in Canada demonstrates how big business interests have prevailed over public health. Current trends in the industry, such as corporate ownership and a focus on cosmetic dentistry, are a continuation of this history. But change is possible! A universal system for dental care is the best way to decommodify dentistry. By examining alternative approaches to the current system, this book represents a call to action to make a more humane future possible." Provided by publisher.
