These are Job Bank (the Government of Canada job site) figures for all dentists together, a year. General dentists and every dental specialist are in one group, so this is not an oral surgery figure. The numbers come from the 2021 Census (Statistics Canada). Job Bank notes that a large number of people in this group are self-employed. Job Bank's oral and maxillofacial surgeon page sits in this dentists group, not with medical surgeons. We could not find a public Canadian source that reports oral surgeon pay on its own. Oral surgeons mostly run private offices paid by patients and dental insurance, with hospital work billed to the province.
