Deep dives
Expansion of Public Dental Care
The Canadian government has unveiled plans to expand public dental care, starting with seniors, then children under 18, and eventually everyone by 2025. The government estimates that up to 9 million Canadians will benefit from this program. Minister of Health, Mark Holland, believes this investment is crucial as oral health is connected to overall health and well-being. The aim of this expansion is to fill the gaps and provide coverage to the quarter of Canadians who currently do not have access to oral health care. The government plans to work closely with provincial and territorial plans to ensure that everyone can have access to quality oral health care.
