Dentists, hygienists still in the dark on details of federal dental-care plan.

Health Minister Mark Holland revealed that the Canadian government is still finalizing details of its new dental program, scheduled to begin accepting claims in May. Dentists, hygienists, and other dental care providers have yet to receive information regarding the program's operation, payment structure, and enrollment process. The program, which aims to provide dental coverage for low- and middle-income individuals without existing insurance, is a key component of the Liberal Party's political agreement with the NDP. The government started accepting applications in January, with eligibility being phased in; over 400,000 seniors aged 72 and above have already enrolled.
