What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?

The Government of Canada has introduced the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), as part of its objective to make dental care more accessible and affordable for those who might not otherwise be able to afford the care needed to maintain good oral health.

How does the Canadian Dental Care Plan works?

How Does It Work?

Scheduled to begin covering treatment in May 2024, the CDCP is a publicly funded dental benefit for those with an annual household income under $90,000 and no private dental insurance.

The plan covers a portion of the cost of an enrolled patient's oral health treatments to prevent and treat oral disease which, in turn, can protect against serious health problems.

How Can I Apply for the CDCP?

Application periods are staggered between December 2023 and 2025. See FAQs below for details. As of May 2024, seniors 65+ can apply online or over the phone.
