Canadian Dental Care Plan

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government initiative to make dental care affordable for Canadians with limited income and no private insurance. Starting in 2024, it will cover various essential dental services for eligible groups, such as seniors, children, and those with disabilities. Coverage percentages depend on family income, with full coverage for families under $70,000. Some services require preauthorization, and complex or cosmetic procedures are excluded. Applications open in phases through 2025.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) officially began in May 2024. This government-funded program helps eligible Canadians without private dental insurance and with household incomes below $90,000 by covering a portion of essential dental treatments. The plan’s goal is to support preventative and treatment-based oral care, helping to safeguard overall health.
