Can i deduct the $2000 amount i pay into for health and dental benefits with my employer against my taxes.

If that amount isn’t already included on your pay slip, and it’s not a provincial health care plan, then you can deduct payments for private health insurance as a medical expense. Here is how to enter medical expenses: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/replies/2648038

If line 85 is on my T4, does that amount on that line count towards the medical deduction amount that I must have a minimum of?
