The government began accepting claims for dental services for seniors enrolled in the program in May, and has since expanded eligibility to qualifying children and people with a disability tax credit. But while patients have been quick to enroll, getting dentists on board to provide the care has been more challenging. Dental associations have been expressing concerns about the design and administration of the program for months. As of last month, just under 50 per cent of dental professionals in Canada had signed up. That’s when Holland announced providers would no longer need to register with the program, and would be able to instead participate on a claim-by-claim basis.
