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.
Eligibility And Coverage
Anyone wishing to participate in this plan must meet the eligibility requirements outlined below.
- Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
- Filed an income tax return for the previous year.
- Do not have dental insurance through a private or pension plan or with an employer.
- Have a net (after tax) family income of less than $90,000 annually.
Applications for the CDCP are phased, beginning with seniors. Children under age 18 and those with disabilities are eligible starting June 2024. All other Canadian residents can apply starting in 2025.
