PRIME Minister Mark Carney announced on Thursday that the government was expanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

He said in a post on X: “Starting today, Canadians aged 55-64 can apply.”

Carney added: “In the coming weeks, applications will open to Canadians aged 18-54.”

The Prime Minister said: “Because of this plan, millions of people can now afford to see a dentist — some for the first time in decades. Soon, millions more will get that same care.”
