Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan and how to access coverage for your dental services.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a program designed to provide dental coverage to residents who do not have access to other forms of dental insurance.
Who it's for
This plan is for residents who do not have access to private dental insurance and whose adjusted family net income is below a certain yearly threshold.
What you get
If you are covered, the plan provides coverage for a wide range of dental services to help keep your teeth healthy.
What it costs you
To receive benefits, you must complete the application process and successfully enroll in the plan. Depending on your specific situation, you may be required to pay co-payments, which means you might have to pay a portion of the cost for your dental work.
The catch to know
Even if you are enrolled, not all dental offices accept this plan. You must check with your dentist before booking an appointment to ensure they participate in the program.
How to apply
- Check your eligibility based on your household income.
- Complete the application process to enroll in the plan.
- Confirm that your dentist accepts the plan before your appointment.
