The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a program established by the federal government to facilitate access to oral health care by reducing financial barriers.
This program covers dental care costs for Canadian residents who do not have dental insurance and whose annual family income is less than $90,000 per year.
Requests will be accepted gradually. Review the information to determine when to submit your request.
To benefit from the CDCP, you must meet all the following eligibility criteria:
It is imperative to respect all of these eligibility criteria in order to benefit from the Canadian Dental Care Plan in Montreal.
If you receive dental insurance through government social programs, such as those offered by a province, territory or the federal government, you may also be eligible for CDCP.
If you meet all eligibility criteria, coordination of benefits will be ensured between different programs to avoid duplication or gaps in coverage.
Including incorrect information in your application could result in your exclusion or that of others for whom you have submitted an application to the scheme. If you or members of your family are not eligible for the plan, you may have to reimburse the full cost of care covered by the CDCP.
The CDCP will help cover the cost of a wide range of dental care services. This may include treatments such as:
• Dental care to maintain the health of your teeth and gums,
• Preventive and curative dental care to treat oral problems and diseases.
Here are some services covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan in Quebec when recommended by a dental professional:

The CDCP aims to reduce the financial difficulties of Canadians whose adjusted net family income is less than $90,000 and who do not benefit from dental insurance through a group or private plan.
Indeed, from May 2024, people aged 65 and over will have access to the free dental care program. Individuals aged 87 and over can now register with Service Canada by telephone or online.
The deployment of the CDCP will be done gradually, starting first with seniors, people with disabilities and children under 18 years old. Eligible Canadians will be able to submit their application for CDCP registration to the Government of Canada.
