They don't change that fast.

they do - insurance companies have a big matrix of dental procedure codes and the allowable fee in each province. the fees change in one province, the matrix is updated and bam - claims are paid on the new fee guide.
all the fee guide does is make it easier to comparasion shop as presumably you can call a dentist and ask where they charge relative to the fee guide. of course the variation will ultimately vary by procedure code.
it will be interesting to see if dentists ultimately start lowering their fees to something closer to the fee guide.
