Canadian Dental Care Plan – applications now open for children under 18!
Did you know that poor oral health causes more than two million missed school days per year?
In Canada, 57% of children 6 to 11 years of age have had a cavity, while tooth decay accounts for one-
third of all day surgeries performed in hospitals for kids between the ages of 1 and 5.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) helps cover the cost of several oral health care services that can
help keep your children’s teeth and gums healthy. This includes services such as examinations,
cleanings, fluoride application and sealants, and restorative work (fillings).
Applications for the CDCP are now open for children under 18—find out if your child is eligible and apply
