However, the Federal government has limited options when it comes to influencing the provincial health care programs.

Exactly. Half of the provinces (the ones with conservative governments, to the surprise of nobody) were fighting against the feds doing any sort of dental care program.

I'm plesantly surprised they were able to get even this weak program operational.
