Canadian Dental Care Plan — affordable dental care

Understanding the CDCP: Why It Matters

Too many people delay dental visits because of cost. The CDCP is Canada’s response to help eligible Canadians maintain good oral health. It helps cover essential services to prevent problems before they become bigger health issues.

The plan covers millions of people nationwide — including Mississauga residents — especially those without private insurance and with household incomes below $90,000.

Who Can Benefit From the CDCP?

To qualify, you must:

  • Have no access to private dental insurance
  • Be a Canadian resident with legal status
  • Have a household income under $90,000


Children, seniors, and — as of 2025 — adults aged 18–64 can now apply. This expansion means more Mississauga families than ever can get the care they deserve.

What Dental Care Is Covered Under CDCP?

The CDCP covers preventive, diagnostic, and basic restorative services, including:

  • Comprehensive exams and routine checkups
  • Professional dental cleanings
  • Digital X-rays and diagnostic tests
  • Fillings for cavities and tooth decay
  • Tooth extractions when needed
  • Root canal therapy to save teeth
  • Full and partial dentures, repairs, adjustments
  • Basic periodontal (gum) care


Some treatments require pre-approval — your dentist will guide you through what’s included.

How to Apply for the CDCP in Mississauga

Applying is simple but requires a few documents:

  1. Valid Social Insurance Number (SIN)
  2. Proof of your household income (e.g., Notice of Assessment)
  3. Confirmation that you do not have private dental coverage

You’ll complete the application through Canada’s official dental care portal. Once approved, you’ll receive details about your eligibility and what services you can access.

How Much Does the CDCP Cost?

There is no fee to apply. The program is designed to reduce or remove out-of-pocket costs for routine dental care.
Depending on your income level:

  • Households under $70,000 often pay nothing out of pocket.
  • Households between $70,000–$90,000 may have a small co-payment for certain services.


Your dentist will always explain any co-payments before starting treatment.

Why Preventive Care Matters

Preventive dental care reduces the risk of larger health problems. The CDCP aims to help Canadians get checkups, cleanings, and early treatment so that dental issues don’t lead to pain, infections, or costly emergency visits later.

Our Mississauga clinic believes everyone deserves the chance to keep their teeth healthy and strong, no matter their budget.
