Dentists Fight Manitoba Child Dental Health Plan Shifts
Manitoba dentists denounce a government plan to hire dental nurses for a provincewide children's dental health program. They warn costs may exceed 350 dollars per child, with limited supervision and long distances to dentists, urging phased rollout with dentists and expanded duty hygienists and a binding master contract. They note Saskatchewan model failures and foresee adverse effects on broader dental care, calling for universal access and parental involvement.
