获得高质量的牙科保健服务，是人们整体健康和福祉的有机组成部分。加拿大民众不应该在要牙齿保健还是要食物住房等基本需求之间做出抉择。 

在《2022年预算》中，加拿大联邦政府承诺在五年内投入53亿加元，为大约700万至900万因费用问题而无法获得适当牙科护理的加拿大人提供牙科保健。 

看牙医对我们的健康至关重要，但可能很昂贵。我们知道，三分之一的加拿大人目前没有牙科保险。这种情况必须改变。全国牙科保健计划的目标是帮助加拿大人解决牙科护理的费用，从2022年开始，从12岁以下的儿童开始，然后在2023年扩大到18岁以下的儿童、老年人和残疾人，并在2025年之前全面实施。这个计划旨在帮助年收入低于9万加元的家庭。 

加拿大卫生部和其他政府合作伙伴一直在共同努力，为设计新的牙科保健方案提供建议。7月25日，加拿大联邦政府发布了一份征集意见书(RFI)，向业界征求在全国牙科保健计划中可以发挥的作用发表意见。RFI将开放四周，从2022年7月25日至8月22日。 

在推进这一重要承诺的过程中，联邦政府与业界的沟通，以及与省和地区合作伙伴的互动，将有助于为政府的决策提供信息。 

让-伊夫思·杜克洛(Jean-Yves Duclos)阁下 

卫生部长，枢密院成员，国会议员 

Having access to quality dental care is an integral part of overall health and wellbeing.

Canadians shouldn’t have to choose between dental care and basic needs like food or

housing.

In Budget 2022, the Government of Canada committed $5.3 billion over five years to

provide dental care for the estimated 7 to 9 million Canadians who are unable to access

proper dental care because of the cost.

Seeing a dentist is important for our health, but can be expensive. We know that a third

of Canadians do not have dental insurance. This must change. The goal of the national

dental care program is to help Canadians with the costs of dental care, starting with

under 12-year-olds in 2022, and then expanding to those under 18-year-olds, seniors,

and persons living with a disability in 2023, with full implementation by 2025. The

program will be designed for families with an income of less than $90,000 annually.

Health Canada and other government partners have been working together to develop

advice for the design of a new dental care program. Today, the Government of Canada

issued a Request for Information (RFI) in order to seek industry input about the role they

could play in a national dental care program. The RFI will be open for four weeks, from

July 25 to August 22, 2022.

This engagement with industry, as well as engagement with provincial and territorial

partners, will help to inform the Government’s decisions on how to proceed as the

Government of Canada moves forward with this important commitment.

The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, P.C., M.P.
