The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal government program designed to cover a portion of dental care treatment costs for Canadians who qualify. The CDCP is a benefit administered by Health Canada and not a free dental plan. Not all the dental services that may be required for patients will be covered under the CDCP.
