Canada's CDCP: The Breakthrough Solution for Affordable Dental Care!

Canada is introducing a new dental benefit named the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), aimed at improving access to dental care for low-income families across the country.

The CDCP is a federal program that aims to alleviate financial barriers to oral health care for Canadians without dental coverage. Eligible participants, with an adjusted household income of less than $90,000 annually, will receive a dental care subsidy under the CDCP, ensuring access to essential dental services for those who need it
