Dental Care and Chantal Robinson

Chantal Robinson: I was curled up into a ball, crying, Robinson says of the moment seven years ago. She was in her early 20s, and her life-long problems with receding gumlines and tooth enamel deficiency had worsened, according to CTV. But the dental care voucher she was eligible for while receiving social assistance didnt come close to covering the estimated $4,000 to $6,000 cost of having her teeth pulled and her mouth fitted for dentures and Chantal Robinson was pregnant and writhing in pain on her classroom floor, all because she couldnt afford the dental care required to fix her rotting teeth. "The pain was just unbearable. I had constant migraines, and my face swelled up a few times to the point where I had to take myself to the emergency room." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
