What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The RCSD is a public program administered by the federal government, designed to reduce financial barriers to accessing dental care for eligible Canadian residents.
What dental treatments and care are covered by the Plan?
The RCSD provides coverage for preventative dental care, including cleanings, exams and x-rays, as well as some basic treatments like fillings and extractions. It will also cover the costs of more complex treatments, such as crowns and root canals.
What are the eligibility criteria for the Plan?
You live in Canada
Your adjusted net family income is less than $90,000
You do not have dental insurance coverage
You have submitted your tax return for the previous year
How much coverage does this Plan provide?
Coverage varies based on your adjusted net family income.
What you need to know before booking an appointment
All patients, whether insured or not, pay the same rate for the same treatment. Patients eligible for the RCSD must therefore pay the difference between their dentist's usual rate and the amount that will be reimbursed.
