The New Canadian Dental Care Plan: How You Can Benefit
Canada has taken a significant step forward in ensuring comprehensive dental care for its citizens. The introduction of the new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to bridge the gap in dental health services and make dental care more accessible and affordable for all Canadians. At My Mobile Dental Hygienist, we believe in the importance of dental health and are excited to share the details of this groundbreaking initiative with our clients and community.
Understanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan
The CDCP is designed to provide dental care coverage to millions of Canadians without adequate dental insurance. The plan targets individuals and families who fall within specific income brackets, ensuring that dental health is no longer a privilege but a fundamental right.
Here’s a breakdown of what the plan entails:
1. Eligibility
To qualify for the CDCP, you must:
not have access to dental insurance
have an adjusted family net income of less than $90,000
be a Canadian resident for tax purposes
have filed your tax return for the previous year
If you have dental coverage through a provincial, territorial or federal government social program, you can still qualify for the CDCP. If you meet all the eligibility criteria, your coverage will be coordinated between the plans to ensure there are no duplications or gaps in coverage.
2. Covered Services
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) will help cover a wide range of oral health care services that keep your teeth and gums healthy and prevent and treat oral health care issues and diseases.
Services that could be covered under the CDCP when recommended by an oral health provider include:
preventive services, including scaling (cleaning), sealants and fluoride
diagnostic services, including examinations and x-rays
restorative services, including fillings
endodontic services, including root canal treatments
prosthodontic services, including:
complete dentures
partial removable dentures
periodontal services, including deep scaling
oral surgery services, including extractions
