Equitable Compensation
FAIR & EQUITABLE compensation for dentists
must be addressed to facilitate FAIR & EQUITABLE access to

OOHAs recommendations
• Ensure ALL children have access to a basic dental program
• Offer basic dental services to priority groups one at a time:• Pregnant women• Low income individuals, seniors and
families Include coverage for children whose families have
partialinsurance but are unable to pay the uninsured portion
![Page 42: OOHA Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/5590915b1a28ab1e388b4612/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Alternate Models of Service Delivery
Include primary oral health care services within Ontario Community Health Centres (existing and soon to be
established)
![Page 43: OOHA Powerpoint](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/5590915b1a28ab1e388b4612/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

NECESSARYto guarantee a BASIC
level of oral health for ALL
Ontarians.
