The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is now open to eligible Canadian residents of every age, and applications for the 2026–2027 benefit year are open. You may qualify if your adjusted family net income is under $90,000, you have no access to private dental insurance, you are a Canadian resident for tax purposes, and you have filed your latest tax return. Pickering Square Dental welcomes CDCP patients — cleanings, exams, fillings, and more.
