Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff says it's a key step in the Ford Governments strategy, to end hallway health care.

The province will be investing about $90-million annually, for the new Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program.

It's for seniors over 65 making less than $19,300 a year. It also applies to couples with a combined annual income under $31,300 without dental benefits.

The program just recently launched. Eligible seniors can apply online here or pick up an application form at public health.
