CDCP Benefits

Yes. Your Canadian Dental Care Plan benefits should be renewed each year to ensure you remain eligible. June 1st is the deadline for renewing CDCP benefits in Newmarket. 

Your coverage ended on June 30th if you didn't renew; however, you can submit a new application. There will be coverage gaps that you will be responsible for until it is reinstated. If you have dental treatments during the gap period, you will not have coverage or be reimbursed retroactively. 

You should confirm that your coverage is active before seeking dental treatment or services. It's also important to note that after renewal, your co-payment level may change.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan for children covers kids under 18. As with adults, levels of coverage are based on the family's income.

For example, coverage is 100 percent for families who make under $70,000 per year. Between the income levels of $70,000 to $89,999, 40 to 60 percent is covered, so some families may incur out-of-pocket expenses for their dental treatment.

Understanding CDCP Coverage

Here are some of the CDCP benefits for children:

  • Preventive Care — Includes teeth cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants
  • Diagnostic Care — Includes dental exams and x-rays
  • Restorative Care — Includes stainless steel crowns and dental fillings for baby teeth
  • Endodontic Care — Includes pulpotomies, pulpectomies, and root canal treatment
  • Oral Surgery — Tooth extraction
  • Anesthesia — Includes general anesthesia if preauthorized

Some treatment procedures may require preauthorization. Orthodontic treatment is generally not covered under CDCP benefits, unless there is a medical need.
