Seniors spend thousands on dental work, suffer in pain or wind up in ERs. Will Canada's plan help?

Angelo Graham, 81, says that for retired Canadians like him, dental issues — and costs — can balloon once someone doesn't have coverage through their job. He's spent more than $30,000 out-of-pocket on dental care, and is among those hoping Canada's new dental plan spares more seniors that kind of expense.

The new Canadian Dental Care Plan is being hailed as a step in the right direction that could help to keep people healthier as they age and out of crowded hospitals — although experts are watching closely to see if it lives up to those early hopes.
