What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a government dental program that offers coverage to Canadians who have an adjusted household net income below $90,000 a year as well as those who are unable to obtain dental benefits.
Individuals who are 65 years and older as well as children under the age of 18 and adults with a disability tax credit certificate are also eligible.
What is Covered by the CDCP?
CDCP can be used to help pay for the following services:
- Preventive Care: Dental Cleanings, Exams, X-rays, Dental Sealants, Fluoride Treatment
- Basic Restorative Care: Dental Fillings, Root Canal Treatments, Gum Disease Treatment
- Major Restorative Care: Dentures, Dental Crowns, Tooth Extractions, Jaw Surgery
It’s also possible to receive coverage for oral conscious sedation. Other forms of anesthesia or sedation require preauthorization.
When it comes to determining how much coverage you can expect to receive, there are a few important factors to consider:
- The CDCP will likely pay a portion of your total cost, not the full amount.
- You will be responsible for additional expenses if your family’s adjusted net income is between $70,000 and $89,999, the cost of your care exceeds the amount the CDCP will reimburse, or if you choose to pursue a service not covered by the CDCP.
- You may have a co-payment depending on your adjusted family net income. For example:
- If it is lower than $70,000, the CDPC will cover 100% of eligible dental services.
- If it is between $70,000 and $79,999, the CDCP will cover 60% of eligible dental services.
- If it is between $80,000 and $89,000, the CDCP will cover 40% of eligible dental services.
Who Qualifies for the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
To qualify for the CDCP, it’s important that you meet strict requirements. You must not already have dental insurance, your adjusted family net income is below $90,000 a year, you’re a Canadian resident, and you filed your tax return last year.
It is possible to receive CDCP coverage if you receive some form of dental coverage through a government social program.
