Over 2.7 million people have applied for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and over 1 million people have accessed affordable oral health care.
Effective July 8, 2024, oral health providers are able to bill CDCP without formally registering with the program.
There are now over 20,500 oral health providers using the CDCP, an astounding 82% of active providers in Canada. Sample questions to ask your oral health providers about the CDCP are listed inside this pamphlet.
If you are eligible for the CDCP, but have run into issues with your application, please contact my office for assistance.
The phased roll out will continue as follows:
Eligibility is extended to adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate and children under the age of 18 as of June 27, 2024.
All remaining eligible residents will be able to apply in 2025.
Services requiring preapproval will be available starting in November 2024. This includes restorative services, such as crowns.
