Town Hall Meeting: The New Canadian Dental Care Plan
DENTAL CARE IS ESSENTIAL TO OVERALL HEALTH.
• Tooth decay is the most common, yet preventable,
childhood chronic disease in Canada.
• 50% of low-income Canadians have no dental coverage
along with a majority of seniors over the age of 60.
• Poor oral health can lead to serious health problems
including heart disease, diabetes complications, and lifethreatening infection.
Once in place, the new Canadian Dental Care Plan will provide
coverage for 9 million Canadians. It will represent the single
biggest expansion of our public health system in over 50 years.
