Canadian Dental Care Plan: More than 70% of dentists accepting patients, up from 50% a month ago

The federal government attributes the higher uptake to changes it introduced in July that allow dental clinics to submit claims without officially registering as providers of the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). The changes permit dentists, denturists and independent hygienists to perform work on patients covered by the CDCP and to be reimbursed by Ottawa on a case-by-case basis. The feds say 450,000 Canadians were treated in the first three months of the program and more than 2.3 million Canadians are eligible for the CDCP.
