The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps ease the financial burden of oral health care. If you do not have a dental plan, you may be eligible to receive benefits that can help you afford the dental care you and your family need.
Do You Qualify?
To qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), you must meet all the eligibility criteria. These are:
- You don’t have access to dental insurance
- You have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000
- You must be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
- You must have filed your tax return in the previous year
If you do have dental coverage, but that coverage is through a provincial, territorial or federal government social program, you may still be eligible for CDCP.
If you meet all the eligibility criteria, your coverage will be coordinated between the plans to ensure there are no duplication or gaps in coverage.
Benefits for Children Under 12
If you have a child under the age of 12, you may already be eligible for the Canada Dental Benefit. But HURRY! This benefit is only available until June 30, 2024. You can find out more about this benefit here.
