Canadian Dental Care Plan: Are You Eligible?

Oral health is essential to your overall well-being, but for many Canadians, dental care can be expensive. That’s why the new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has been introduced. The plan provides financial support for dental care services to eligible individuals and families across Canada. Could you be one of them?

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan is designed to help families and individuals who do not have access to dental insurance. If you qualify, you could receive support for necessary dental treatments, including exams, cleanings, and more. Click here to find out what is covered.

Are You Eligible?

To qualify for the CDCP, you must meet all four of the following requirements:

1. You do not have access to dental insurance – This means that you are not currently covered under a private dental plan through your employer or otherwise.

2. Your adjusted family net income is less than $90,000 – Your family’s income after taxes should be below this threshold.

3. You are a Canadian resident for tax purposes – You must live in Canada and file taxes here.

4. You filed your tax return for the previous year – It is necessary to have submitted your tax return to confirm your income eligibility.

If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible for dental care coverage through this plan! Find out if you qualify here.
