The Canadian Dental Care Plan

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to improve dental care access for Canadians. It provides essential dental benefits to families, ensuring they can receive the necessary treatments. Starting in May 2024, the CDCP will be administered by Health Canada. While it offers valuable support, it is not a free program. Understanding its structure helps patients prepare for their dental needs.

Essential Details About the CDCP

  • The CDCP is administered by Health Canada, ensuring a structured approach to dental benefits.
  • Co-payments are required based on adjusted annual family net income:
    • No co-payment for families earning less than $70,000.
    • A 40% co-payment for incomes between $70,000 and $79,999.
    • A 60% co-payment for incomes between $80,000 and $89,999.
  • Some costs may not be covered by the CDCP. Understanding your total dental care expenses is crucial before treatment.
  • Coverage is not universal; not all dental services fall under the CDCP.
  • Inform your dental provider if you intend to utilize CDCP benefits, as participation may vary by practice.
