The Canada Dental Care Plan is covering more and more people, but N.L. dental hygienists aren’t seeing as many new clients as they expected
The federal government is continuing to expand the country’s dental care plan. As of last month, if you’re under 18, OR over 65, AND if your household income is under $90,000 a year, chances are you’re eligible to get a variety of dental care covered under the federal plan. You might also qualify if you receive the disability tax credit. But despite this being a more affordable dental care option for a lot of people, fewer people than expected are showing up to get their teeth checked. Nicole Kielly is a registered dental hygienist, and the owner of The Dental Hygiene Studio in St. John's.
