coverage website<\/a>.<\/p>\nSome oral health provider-recommended services that could be covered include:<\/p>\n
diagnostic and preventive services \u2014 dental exams, cleaning, x-rays, fluoride applications, sealants
\nbasic services \u2014 restorative services (like fillings or cavity treatments), endodontic services (root canals, pulpectomies, etc.), periodontal services (cleaning under the gumline, treating abscesses, etc.)
\nmajor services \u2014 restorative services (crowns, repairs, posts and post removal), removable prosthodontic services (dentures), oral surgery
\nanesthesia or sedation<\/p>\n
For now, orthodontic services aren\u2019t covered under the CDCP, but will be available in the future.<\/p>\n
The CDCP may not pay you for the full cost of your treatment, but you will be reimbursed for part of it. You may have a co-payment based on your adjusted family net income. For example, if your adjusted family net income is less than $70,000, CDCP will cover 100 per cent of service costs.<\/p>\n

Before applying for the CDCP, it\u2019s important to check the eligibility criteria. You could be eligible to apply if you meet the four requirements:<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have access to private dental insurance, including through your employer, a family member\u2019s benefits, pension plan, a professional or student organization, or a plan purchased from an insurance or benefits company;
\nYou and your spouse or, if applicable, common-law partner must have filed your tax returns in Canada in order for your family income to be assessed;
\nYour adjusted family net income is less than $90,000;
\nYou\u2019re a Canadian resident for tax purposes.<\/p>\n
However, if you already have dental coverage through a provincial, territorial or federal social program, you may still qualify for the CDCP. The plan will be coordinated with your existing coverage to ensure there\u2019s no duplication or gaps.<\/p>\n
