The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a helpful program for eligible Canadians who need dental care but lack insurance. Managed by Health Canada and administered by Sun Life, it offers benefits to those with a household income under $90,000.

Once you qualify, Sun Life will enroll you and send a welcome package with info and a member card. Remember, the CDCP isn't a replacement for other dental plans and may only cover part of your costs.

While the CDCP covers things like cleanings, fillings, and dentures, it might not cover everything, leaving you with a balance to pay. For more info, call Health Canada or visit Canada.ca/dental.

Please, don't forget to bring your CDCP card to appointments!

In short, the CDCP helps make dental care more affordable, but it's essential to understand what it covers and any potential expenses.
