For many Canadians, accessing dental care can be a financial challenge. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) aims to alleviate this burden by providing coverage for essential dental services to eligible individuals and families. As an Ottawa-based dental clinic, Fallowfield Dental is committed to assisting our community in understanding and accessing this valuable program.
Understanding the CDCP
The CDCP is a federal initiative designed to make dental care more accessible to Canadians without private dental insurance. Eligibility is based on household income, with coverage varying accordingly. Services covered under the CDCP include routine cleanings, examinations, fillings, root canals, and extractions. The program is administered by Sun Life Financial, and eligible individuals receive a welcome package detailing their coverage.
