OTTAWA — In a bid to win over dentists who have been reluctant to join the federal dental-care plan, the health minister announced Monday that dentists can now"dip a toe" in the program before fully committing.

The latest change would allow dentists to submit claims on a one-off basis without having to formally enrol as a provider under the program. The change would give providers the freedom to participate without having to register.
"It really doesn't change anything," said Antel, who has not joined the program as part of his own practice. Holland said the terms and conditions are fairly standard, and the audits would only be carried out if there was a case of suspected fraud.
