What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The national dental care program, which was established as part of a supply-and-confidence agreement, has been reported to transform access to care for millions of patients. However, the Canadian Dental Association stated that claims are being denied without explanation, and many people are confused about what services are covered. The program, which was expanded to include all adults under $90,000 income without private insurance, has seen around 6.5 million people sign on out of an estimated nine million eligible.
