The CDCP is a government-funded program which provides financial support to eligible people and families to obtain necessary dental care. The whole purpose of the plan is to ease the financial cost of dental care, such that every Canadian, with or without an income, may have access to the needed dental care services that ensure oral health.
Starting in May 2024, the CDCP will help pay for different dental services, focusing on basic care and check-ups. This program makes dental visits more affordable for people who don’t have private insurance or can’t pay the full cost of dental treatments.
The amount you pay for dental services under the CDCP depends on your family’s income. Here’s how it works:
This government dental insurance plan helps make dental care affordable for families with different incomes.

The CDCP is a federal government program that provides coverage to Canadian residents who do not have access to dental benefits and have a household income of less than $90,000 per year.
No. The CDCP covers part of the cost of your dental care. Depending on your income, you may have to pay a co-payment. Your dentist may also charge fees above what the CDCP covers, and you are responsible for that difference.
You are eligible if you are a Canadian resident who has filed a tax return, your adjusted family net income is under $90,000 per year, and you do not have dental insurance through an employer, pension plan, or private insurance policy. Seniors, children under 18, and adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate were the first groups to be enrolled, followed by all other eligible Canadians.
You are not eligible if you have dental coverage through your employer or a family member’s employer, a workplace health and wellness account, pension benefits, or a private dental insurance policy. This rule applies even if you never use the coverage or have to pay a premium for it. The only exception is if you are retired and opted out of pension dental benefits before December 11, 2023, and cannot opt back in.
Yes. You must renew your CDCP coverage annually. To renew for the 2026–2027 benefit year, you need to first file your 2025 tax return and receive your Notice of Assessment from the CRA, then complete your renewal at canada.ca/dental before June 1, 2026. If you miss this deadline, your coverage will end on June 30, 2026.
The CDCP covers a wide range of services including preventive care such as cleanings, check-ups, fluoride treatments, and sealants; diagnostic services like X-rays; restorative treatments including fillings and crowns; root canals; dentures; deep scaling for gum treatment; tooth extractions; and emergency dental services. Some complex services require preauthorization from your dentist before treatment can begin.
