What Is the Canadian Dental Care Plan?
The Canadian dental program is a government initiative that provides financial support for essential dental care. It is for Canadians who do not have private insurance. The program covers many preventive, restorative, and some surgical treatments, depending on your income level.
CDPC benefits adults, families and seniors to help them access dental care without facing high out-of-pocket costs.

If you meet these conditions, you can access the program and visit Rabbit Hill Dental Choice, a trusted CDCP provider near you.

How Much CDCP Covers
