Dentists across Canada could see up to 9 million new patients as a result of the government's new universal dental-care program, the report says, but it cautions that new policies are needed
OTTAWA — The Canadian government's approach to universal dental care should include preserving private dental insurance programs and using existing clinics should be part of the Canadian government's approach to universal dental care, the Canadian Dental Association says.
They put forth several recommendations for the Liberal government, urging them to have a national oral health strategy in place by April 2025."It's a massive undertaking and we are pleased to see that this attention is being given to oral health care because we know there's a sizable number of Canadians that don't access regular dental care because of cost," said Dr. Lynn Tomkins, the Canadian Dental Association president, in an interview with The Canadian Press.
The association also wants the government to explore incentivizing employers so they continue to offer dental insurance to workers. Universal access to dental care is set to be fully implemented by 2025. Children under the age of 12 who are from lower-income families currently eligible to receive a children's dental benefit through the Canada Revenue Agency.
