Dental Information for Caregivers

Dental Information for Caregivers
This guide provides information for dentists, orthodontists, and dental specialists about dental and orthodontic benefits for children and youth in care and youth receiving support through a Youth Agreement. Please note that the term ‘children and youth in care’ refers both to children and youth in the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) and children and youth in the care of Delegated Aboriginal Agencies.

Children and youth in care have access to necessary dental and orthodontic care until they reach the age of 19. Youth receiving support through a Youth Agreement have access to dental care only until they reach the age of 19.

Tuition Guide

A comprehensive list of bursaries and scholarships for youth in and from foster care has been compiled by Foster Parent Support Services Society and is available on the FPSSS website.
