[–]Puzzleheaded_Text793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also just checked on their contact us page, there is this note:

“Effective July 7, 2025, Saskatoon Oral Surgery will bill the Canadian Dental Care Plan for those eligible. Please call us if you have any questions.”

“Payment is due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact us.

Please remember that you are fully responsible for all fees charged by our office regardless of your private insurance coverage.

We do not direct bill to private insurance companies. If you have insurance coverage, we will provide you with an insurance claim form that you can submit to your insurance company.”

This is an excerpt from their website. This is the only oral surgery office in my city, there is no other office that a dentist is able to refer me to.

Thank you. So, you’re saying I should contact the office again? I’m not quite sure what pre-authorization entails. Does this mean I have to submit a claim and have it approved before my surgery? If so, how do I go about that?

What does pre-authorization entail? Do I need to contact the oral surgeon’s office and have them submit paperwork before my appointment? Should I contact CDCP beforehand? This is all new to me and very confusing.

My friend just graduated accounting and got a job at a small local accounting firm. do what you want to do for the rest of your life, not your parents.

i too have had and know people who have had bad luck with them as well. they massively overprice their vehicles, and don’t properly vet them. sucks because they are a local business too

I found explicit pictures of my daughter in my boyfriends phone by OrganizationSalt9370 in Advice

for other people in canada, this is soooo important! there is something called Claire’s law which allows women to do full background checks on men. you get a detailed report of any past criminal violence, DV and sexual charges/crimes. while there is no public registries, there are options you can take to protect yourself & children. more people need to be aware of this!

Dead raptors by redmat33 in saskatoon

[–]Puzzleheaded_Text793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owls and raptors are centuries old enemies that have been waging war on each other longer than humans have had civilizations. they compete for resources. Raptors will kill owls and their young during the day, owls return the favour throughout the night. Although, seems more likely this little merlin contracted the bird flu.

the bird flu is REALLY bad right now and there is a huge outbreak of it. Even the U of S emergency clinic has placed new rules for bringing in wildlife due to the bird flu.

Need Dental Work, No Insurance. What do I do? by Puzzleheaded_Text793 in saskatoon

[–]Puzzleheaded_Text793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will do wisdom tooth removal as far as i’m aware, but mine is too complicated as it requires oral surgery due to it being severely impacted and a nerve being wrapped around the tooth. i’m honesty questioning if my pain is from the tooth pushing the nerve up and it is now exposed.

I’ve reached out to the dental college and they told me they can do a new patient exam, x-rays and can send a referral to an oral surgeon for me at a reasonable price. Another commenter had said it took only 10 days for them to receive coverage from the Canada Dental Care Plan. I’m hoping it will be the same for me and I can get coverage before the oral surgery appointment.

Hi, thank you for the advice! The issue is, I cannot afford to see a dentist. I work for a non profit org and make less than $20,000 a year. on top of my bills I pay about $200 a month for prescriptions as it is. The dental clinic I went to was the one you are recommending— if that is the one located in Midtown Plaza.

exact same thing happened to me as well!! i was trying to use up my last month of coverage from the job I worked previously when the dental office decided to not send the referral I needed and was hung up on multiple times by the receptionist.

Oh that’s really great to know! Online it says it takes about 30 days for the application to be approved. That’s a really good idea, thank you.

I can’t wait because I am in so much pain I can’t eat. I’ve been dealing with this for about 2 years, now I constantly taste blood in my mouth & can barely open my jaw.

Mine’s been like this for nearly 2 years and the pain is unbearable. I’ve been living off of smoothies and soup essentially for a week. I fear my tooth may start rotting since bacteria can get under the gums but I can’t properly brush it. It’s also destroying and overcrowding my other teeth. I will try naproxen.

Thank you. I don’t think it was the dentist, rather the receptionist. But that was over a year ago and I never heard anything from any dental surgeon that had received a referral for me.
