Earlier this year when the federal government announced plans to create a national dental care program, Dr. Lisa Bentley, dentist of over three decades and president of the Ontario Dental Association (ODA), was excited for the gap in access to care to be filled.
But now, even after meeting with Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, the ODA is still unsure when the coverage will start or what care will be included, according to a release published Thursday by the association.
