Health Smiles Program Expanding

More children in Ontario will be able to see a dentist free of charge.

The province is expanding the eligibility for its "Healthy Smiles Ontario" program.

The government says the program will help more than 70-thousand children and youth from low income families.

Beginning in April, families with one child must have a net income of 21-thousand, 5-hundred dollars or less to qualify.

The figure increases 15-hundred for each additional child.
