Government of Canada to Make Announcement About Dental Care
OTTAWA, ON – The Government of Canada is set to make an announcement about dental care on 2024-10-30 at 22:00. The announcement is expected to include details on a new dental care program that will provide financial assistance to low- and middle-income Canadians.
The program is part of the government’s commitment to improving access to dental care for all Canadians. According to the Canadian Dental Association, over 6 million Canadians do not have access to dental insurance, and many more are unable to afford the cost of dental care.
The new program is expected to provide financial assistance to families with children under the age of 12, seniors, and low-income Canadians. The program is also expected to include a sliding scale that will provide more assistance to those who need it most.
The announcement is expected to be made by Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos. A media briefing will be held following the announcement.
