Volunteer Dental Outreach for Haliburton County is adjusting its services to better meet community needs in Haliburton County.
In a press release issued yesterday, VDO says With the federal government’s continuing rollout of the Canada Dental Care Plan, many low-income residents in Haliburton County will now have wide access to affordable dental care, resulting in a decreased patient load at VDO.
Therefore, as of January 1, 2025, VDO will no longer provide dental care through the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program.
VDO will remain open to provide care to those county residents who do not qualify for the Canada Dental Care Plan but who meet the qualifications for dental care under VDO’s original mandate, which is Providing free dental care to low-income residents of Haliburton County who do not have dental insurance and who have nowhere else to turn.
