It takes a while because you have to have their cctb documents to even apply. It takes a couple months to get the cctb and then they have to apply in person. It can take a few weeks for the healthy smiles application to be approved or it can go quicker. They will get their healthy smiles papers via Canada post so make sure to check their mail each week. Then you have to find a dentist that will accept healthy smiles that is close to their home. The sooner they can get to appointments without help, the better. It can take multiple appointments to deal with significant dental issues. Not all dentists will accept healthy smiles because they are only allowed to charge a reduced rate. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Check out the colleges for the adults.

I checked their IFHP confirmation documents but there is no specific mention of dental services. However, in the link below it says that 'emergency dental exams, dental X-rays and extractions' are covered (dated Dec 2015). I assume this applies to both children and adults? Our sponsored family has not seen a dentist for several years, and we would like them all to have check-ups. However, only one of the children has been reporting any problems with her teeth. Would she be the only who might be considered an 'emergency' and all the others would have to pay for routine check-ups? I spoke to someone at Medavie-Blue Cross but they could not answer that question. Instead they referred me to a long list of dentists here in London who accept IFHP patients (but are not necessarily taking new patients right now). Should I start calling individual dentists on the list, or would I be better off calling Western University which apparently has dental students who provide low-cost treatments? Thanks for any advice. <div><br><div><a href="http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/pub/IFHP-eng.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/pub/IFHP-eng.pdf</a> <br></div></div></div>
