What is The Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a government-funded program based on specific eligibility criteria aimed at ensuring certain individuals and families have access to essential dental services. It emphasizes preventive and routine dental services, including exams and cleanings, along with the treatments required for fillings, extractions, and other procedures.
The CDCP is designed to help reduce the financial barriers to receiving dental care so that Canadians can receive the necessary dental services and have healthy smiles. It provides income-related coverage along with some coverage for families and seniors. This plan is a step forward in making dental care a universal benefit.
