It was about time, I have piles and piles of bills for dental work.
it was your choice to have kids. Should add them to your employee benefits package
Brush your teeth and donβt eat junk
Problem solved
You won’t qualify. I know my kids don’t. Looked into it already.
Been putting off my own dental needs for years so my kids can get it.
This is for single moms and that’s about it
All you have to do to recieve benifits is make a dental appointment. Bet that won’t ever get abused
Why is it not simply Covered by Medicare?
Middle-class should have benefits provided by employers. Not the tax payers.
2025?? Lol
We already have that in Ontario for low income children. Not such a big deal. Cut carbon taxes on home heating
In the early 60’s Dentists were sent to our School and set up in the Gym. They were generally old guys that literally ‘welded’ our bad teeth from one corner of our mouth to the other and used huge needles. That was at our local elementary school called Hollywood # Been there.
Other governments give full medical to everyone why can’t canada
Let’s be real he will send it in money form and how much of it will actually be used on dental it most likely will be to feed their kids. $650 is nothing that covers what a couple fillings and a cleaning. Won’t have cavities If kids don’t have food to eat0
My kids are all in their ’30s now. Due to financial situation of their parents at that time, we qualified for free dental care for our kids by applying to the local health unit. So these “real measures” are nothing new. How about helping diabetics with their necessary medical needs?
Justin Trudeau is giving all kinds of money π° away but he’s not doing anything for senior citizens in Canada lol π π π€£
Blackface must go

Really, I think parents and their children would rather be able to afford 3 square meals a day. Nice smiles and teeth mean nothing when children their parents go to bed with an empty tummy.
Way to go, JT, way to go!
And very few will get it.
