Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides crucial dental coverage for eligible Canadians. If your family’s net income is below $90,000 and you lack dental insurance, you could benefit from the CDCP. This plan covers various oral health care services, making it easier for you and your loved ones to maintain excellent dental health.

Who Qualifies for CDCP?

To be eligible for CDCP, you must:

Have no access to any dental insurance.
Have an adjusted annual family net income below $90,000.
Be a Canadian resident for tax purposes.
Have filed your tax return in the previous year.

Patients currently receiving dental benefits through social programs may also qualify if they meet all eligibility criteria. For more detailed eligibility information, visit Canada’s website.

Coverage and Co-payments

While the CDCP covers a significant portion of dental costs, it may not cover everything. Depending on your income, you might need to pay a percentage of your dental treatment costs. Here’s a breakdown of coverage based on adjusted family net income:

Income below $70,000: No co-payment; CDCP covers 100%.
Income $70,000 – $79,999: 40% co-payment; CDCP covers 60%.
Income $80,000 – $89,999: 60% co-payment; CDCP covers 40%.
