Dental services in Quebec: Issues and changes

Gilles Dussault

Social Science & Medicine, 1984, vol. 18, issue 3, 251-255

Abstract: This paper describes the dental care delivery system in the province of Quebec (Canada) and shows that it has failed on two counts: the geographical maldistribution of dental manpower and the lack of development of preventive services. The paper discusses these issues in relation to recent changes which have occurred in the last decade, particularly the recognition of dental hygienists and denturists as legitimate providers of dental care in 1973 and the inception of Denticare in 1974.
