Seniors aged 72 and older are eligible as of today to register for Canada's national dental care plan, but dentists still can't sign up for the program — even though they're supposed to start taking patients in just a few months.

It's still not clear how dentists, hygienists and denturists will register for the program, how the billing process will work and how much they'll be paid for their services.

Holland said the federal government has been speaking with dental associations across the country to nail down the details.

Carr said dentists have been pushing for a national dental care plan for a long time.
