Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government program designed to make dental care more affordable for Canadians who don’t have dental benefits and have a household income of less than $90,000 a year. Think of it as financial support for those who need it most. It’s not a free program, but it’s here to help reduce the cost of essential dental care.

This plan is meant for people who don’t already have access to dental coverage through work, school, or private insurance. It’s managed by Health Canada and administered by Sun Life, so decisions about eligibility and covered services are handled by them, not our team.

Am I Eligible for CDCP?

All eligible Canadian residents can now apply for the CDCP. To qualify, you must:

Be a Canadian resident
Have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000
NOT have access to dental insurance through your employer, pension, or private insurance

Important: If you decline dental coverage offered by your employer, you are NOT eligible for CDCP.

Your costs depend on your family income:

Under $70,000: No co-payment
$70,000-$79,999: You pay 20%
$80,000-$89,999: You pay 40%
