The Canadian Dental Care Plan helps reduce the cost of eligible oral health services for Canadian residents who meet the program requirements and do not have access to dental insurance.
Coverage is not automatically the same for every child. The services covered, co-payment and any additional charges depend on eligibility, clinical need and CDCP rules.
Leslie North Dental can confirm active coverage, discuss the recommended treatment and explain any estimated amount your family may need to pay before care begins.
Make sure your child’s coverage is active and the benefit start date has passed.
Keep the CDCP member ID, start date and co-payment level available.
Some services need preauthorization, and additional charges may still apply.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps make dental care more affordable for eligible kids under 18 by covering 40% to 100% of approved dental costs. The exact coverage depends on your adjusted family net income, ensuring families with lower incomes receive the most support.
Coverage Breakdown:
Family income under $70,000 – 100% coverage for eligible treatments
Family income between $70,000 and $79,999 – 60% coverage with 40% paid by the family
Family income between $80,000 and $89,999 – 40% coverage with 60% paid by the family
Understanding Co-Payments:
A co-payment is the part of the treatment cost you pay out of pocket. The amount depends on your income level and CDCP’s approved rates. If your dentist’s fees exceed CDCP’s set rates or you choose services not covered by CDCP for kids, you will be responsible for the difference.
Here’s a breakdown:
| Adjusted Family Net Income | CDCP Coverage | Co-Payment Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Less than $70,000 | 100% | 0% |
| $70,000 - $79,999 | 60% | 40% |
| $80,000 - $89,999 | 40% | 60% |
Additional Costs to Consider:
You may have extra charges if:
The dentist’s fees exceed CDCP’s set rates.
You choose treatments that are not covered under the plan.
