The CDCP is a federal initiative created to remove financial barriers and increase access to essential dental services for qualifying Canadians. Depending on your income, age, and dental insurance status, you may qualify for partial or full coverage of many routine and necessary dental procedures.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to improve access to dental care by making it more affordable for those who qualify. By subsidizing a large portion of dental treatment costs, the CDCP helps ease the financial burden and allows more individuals to receive the oral health care they deserve.
