There are absolutely no dentists in PA for about a week around Christmas time. Therefore, if you are in serious pain, your only option is to try to find the money to drive to Saskatoon for help..
It's not right. Why can't there be one or two dentists in this city willing to be open closer to Christmas or on call for more serious cases such as toothaches. I realize the Emergency department at the hospital will call in a dentist IF there is damage to the mouth sustained in a car accident, but they will give you no options if it is a very bad toothache and pain pills are not touching the pain. Sounds horrible? It is. It's Christmas, this should be one less worry on people's minds. And if you don't feel it's important, god forbid it's not you this year that it is in dire straits, because many have had to endure it in previous years. Also, not everyone will have the money around Christmas to be driving somewhere for help. I hope this can be remedied this year.

Interesting. Perhaps dentists should become regulated under the Public Health Care Act and be forced to work when required? After all we ARE supposed to have a single payer system not a two tiered public private health system like in Quebec.
When is the government going to give us, and ENFORCE the act?
