“It really irks me that the federal government came out and announced a dental plan, but they didn’t do their homework to get the thing in place so that my dentist could be part of it,” she said.

“But unlike other dental plans, this federal program is asking the dentist to sign a contract that’s seven pages long with a lot of unknown factors and unnecessary terms and conditions.”

Dental health care providers say they’re also concerned about imposing a lot of new paperwork on already overburdened administrative staff.

The CDCP is modelled on the Non-Insured Health Benefits, a federal program that provides dental care to First Nations and Inuit in Canada.

Health Minister Mark Holland suggested Ottawa may sweeten the deal to entice more dental care providers to join.
