This final group of Canadians to become eligible for the CDCP will start to access care as early as June 1, 2025. The coverage start date to access oral health care will vary based on when eligible Canadians apply, when the application is received and when the enrolment is completed.
Up to 4.5 million uninsured Canadians between 18 and 64 years-old are expected to join the millions of seniors, children, and adults with a valid Disability Tax Credit certificate already eligible for affordable oral health care services under the CDCP.
As of Mar. 22, 2025, close to 98% of active dentists, denturists, dental hygienists, and dental specialists in Canada, including those in educational institutions, are caring for patients covered under the CDCP.
Both those seeking to renew their eligibility and those eligible to sign up to the CDCP for the first time will receive letters and reminders from the Government of Canada to support them in this process.
