Today, the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, announced that close to six million Canadians are now covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and can receive the dental care they need. The CDCP is making life more affordable by saving eligible Canadians an average of $800 per year on their oral health care services. Minister Michel also announced more than $35 million over three years in funding for 30 projects under the Oral Health Access Fund (OHAF).
