Federal dental plan adding challenges for Alberta dentists
Costs for dental work are notoriously high and to combat the high costs, the federal government released a national dental plan to try and curb costs.
Dentists across the country and across Alberta, have voiced their concerns about the program and the challenges seem to increase with every new roll out administered.
The federal government in June announced the expansion of the Canadian National Dental Plan, with tens of thousands of Canadians signing up.
The expanded plan now includes all seniors aged 65 and older, patients with a valid disability tax credit and all peoples under the age of 18.
