What is the CDCP?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), funded by the federal government, aims to alleviate the cost of dental care for Canadians who do not have dental benefits and whose annual net income is below $90,000.


This program encompasses a wide range of dental services, covering preventive, diagnostic, restorative, endodontic, prosthodontic, periodontal, and oral surgery needs.
