We Accept The Canadian Dental Care Plan
Curious about the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)? We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand the program better. From eligibility criteria to the types of dental services covered, get all the details you need to maintain your oral health and keep your smile bright!
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program designed to help Canadian residents without dental coverage, specifically those with a household income of less than $90,000 annually. It’s important to note that the CDCP is a government dental benefit, not a free dental service.
The program is aimed at Canadians who don’t have existing dental coverage. It is not meant to replace benefits provided through employers, schools, or private plans, but it can work alongside other government programs. The CDCP is overseen by Health Canada and administered by Sun Life.
