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 work?

How Does It Work?

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?

Eligible Canadians can apply online or over the phone. Application periods are staggered with 18 to 64 year olds eligible to apply for the first time in May 2025.
