The Canadian Dental Association is applauding the new Canada Dental Benefit which was brought into law last week.
The benefit is an interim measure that will provide financial support for parents and guardians of children under the age of 12 for dental care that is not covered by private dental insurance. Dentists say poor oral health has an impact on the healthcare system, resulting in hospital visits for dental emergencies and other chronic illnesses.
President Dr. Lynn Tomkins says oral health is an essential component of overall health and visiting the dentist regularly and early in life will get children started on a path to good oral health for a lifetime.

Canadian response to U.S. Inflation Reduction Act should boost 'certainty' for investors, says advocacy groupThe landmark United States Inflation Reduction Act poses economic challenges and opportunities for Canada, say observers, but a chief response to the American law incentivizing industrial decarbonization must be to address the investor “certainty” it creates in contrast to the Canadian regime. Michael Bernstein, executive director of Canadians for Clean Prosperity, said the certainty the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides is “one of the most significant” ways the act could “attract a lot of capital, both money and people … to the U.S. that might otherwise go to Canada or stay in Canada.” “It’s not that Canada isn’t spending a lot of money on climate or doesn’t have some strong economic incentives,” said Bernstein, whose organization advocates for a market-based approach to climate policy. “But the U.S. policy is designed in a way that provides a lot of certainty to investors, and clarity to investors on what funding or what support they’re going to get by investing in decarbonization.” MPs discussed the Canadian government’s response to the IRA at a Nov. 15 House International Trade Committee meeting, questioning witnesses on the advantages the act gives American companies in fields related to decarbonization, such as manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles. NDP MP Taylor Bachrach (Skeena-Bulkley Valley, B.C.) asked if Canada needed “a concerted strategy around the zero emission vehicle and battery supply chains” given incentives offered in the act for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.
