Helpful Information for Patients on the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is now open to eligible Canadians nationwide. Adults aged 18–64 who meet federal eligibility requirements, including having no access to dental insurance and a family income under $90,000, may apply. To be eligible, patients must:

Applications for the Canadian Dental Care Plan are currently open year-round and must be submitted directly through the Government of Canada. Covered services may include dental cleanings, exams, X-rays, fillings, extractions, dentures, and other essential dental services, subject to federal guidelines, frequency limits, and preauthorization requirements.
