Dentists
settle

VANCOUVER , (CP) —
B.C. dentists have reached
agreement with the provin-
cial government on a new fee
schedule providing increases

_ averaging 12.7 per cent,
effective March 1.

Dr. Ted Ramage, president
of the B.C. College of Dental
Surgeons, said dentists will
only see a 12-per-cent in-
crease. The other .7 per cent
Ramage called a “built-in
surcharge” to accommodate
the price of silver, which has
stablized. (Last’. year, the
government permitted den-
tists to. surcharge for work
done with silver after its
price rose dramatically.)

“We feel it is a fair
settlement,” said Ramage.
“It's close to the increased
costs dentists face.”

He said fee increases for
the provincial government's
Denticare program will be
the same as the general fee
hikes.

Meanwhile, B.C. doctors
continue to negotiate with
the government as the April
1 deadline approaches with
no break in the current im-
passe.
