The Canadian Dental Care Plan will provide millions of uninsured Canadians with the oral care they need. Access to affordable dental care will be life-changing for so many people in our community.
Last week, Mark Holland, Canada’s Minister of Health joined me at Ocean Park Dental to chat with their team about the new dental care plan and the difference it will make.
We appreciated their thoughtful questions, and their commitment to helping folks achieve better oral health in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour.
Uninsured Canadian residents with an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000 will now be able to better access the dental care they need.
We know that this is going to be a very popular program so we’re rolling it out in a phased approach, starting with seniors.

- Ages 87 and above – December 2023
