What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Government of Canada has introduced the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) 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 It Work?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a publicly funded dental benefit for individuals with household incomes under $90,000 without private dental insurance. It partially covers oral health treatments to prevent and address oral disease, promote overall health, and prevent severe medical issues. Eligible patients can access these benefits by enrolling through government channels.
