The Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program (OSDCP) is a government-funded program that provides free routine dental care to seniors who qualify. Seniors are more prone to dental decay, gum disease, and oral cancer than other groups, so it is important to have regular dental checkups and prevent further issues.
